Wait for selector (waitForSelector) ​

Waits until Target appears in the DOM/page. Prefer this over a fixed waitForTimeout pause.

Step model ​

Target/Value facts match the source-of-truth catalog and Autotest step.

Steps ​

1. Add a waitForSelector step.
2. Set Target.
3. Optionally set timeout_ms.
4. Save.

The step is stored on the autotest. Next - neighbouring steps or autotest run creation.

Examples ​

Wait for the results table ​

Fields in the UI:

Step JSON fragment (copy-paste):

{
  "action_name": "waitForSelector",
  "target": {
    "kind": "TESTID",
    "value": "results-table"
  },
  "timeout_ms": 15000
}

Common mistakes ​

• Do not use a long waitForTimeout «just in case» instead of waiting for a selector.
• To assert visibility after appearance, prefer toBeVisible.
