Is there a way to bypass the page load wait? The product I am testing is in an iframe, independent of the page that it loads on. However, the host page takes forever to load, unnecessarily increasing my test times. So I am looking for a way to bypass the page load and instead wait on the iframe to finish loading. ideas?

  • It looks like DevExpress have a ticket in their Sprint, to override the default page load time (https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2940). I'm not sure if this will apply to the initial page load, or just for navigation – Rob C Dec 01 '20 at 23:06

TestCafe is an end to end testing tool. That means the original page load time is a part of that. I don't think it would be a realistic test if you excluded that part.

That being said, I understand the frustration of waiting in the given scenario. Maybe TestCafe Live mode could help you, at least during the development of tests.

For, example if you wish to run screenshot.js you will need to add --live switch:

testcafe chrome screenshot.js --live
