Splinter tests not failing when element not found on the page and wait_time set to 1 second

[nburt]

I first mentioned this issue here and opening a separate issue as requested.

I don't have an error message to share because the test just hangs. However, I have been able to reproduce the error and I believe the issue is caused by freezegun.

The test in question uses the following Splinter configuration:

from django.contrib.staticfiles.testing import StaticLiveServerTestCase
from splinter import Browser, Config


class SplinterTestCase(StaticLiveServerTestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        super().setUpClass()
        config = Config(headless=True)
        cls.browser = Browser('chrome', config=config, wait_time=1)

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        cls.browser.quit()
        super().tearDownClass()

    def tearDown(self):
        super().tearDown()

The following test fails with splinter.exceptions.ElementDoesNotExist: no elements could be found with text "Model does not exist"

class AdminTest(SplinterTestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        superuser = create_superuser()
        self.browser.visit(self.live_server_url + "/admin/")

        self.browser.fill("username", superuser.email)
        self.browser.fill("password", "password")
        self.browser.find_by_value('Log in').click()

    def test_splinter_hang(self):
        self.browser.find_by_text('Model does not exist').click()
        self.assertTrue(True)

However, if I freeze the date, it hangs:

@freeze_time("2024-05-21")
class AdminTest(SplinterTestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        superuser = create_superuser()
        self.browser.visit(self.live_server_url + "/admin/")

        self.browser.fill("username", superuser.email)
        self.browser.fill("password", "password")
        self.browser.find_by_value('Log in').click()


    def test_splinter_hang(self):
        print(datetime.now())
        self.browser.find_by_text('Model does not exist').click()
        self.assertTrue(True)

I assume this is caused by freezegun stubbing datetime which is used for the wait_time object. I am able to get test failures when I manually stop and start freezegun (see below) so I probably could wrap splinter element finders with something like this but wondering if there's another way to make that work.

class AdminTest(SplinterTestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.freezer = freeze_time("2024-05-21")
        self.freezer.start()

        superuser = create_superuser()
        self.browser.visit(self.live_server_url + "/admin/")

        self.browser.fill("username", superuser.email)
        self.browser.fill("password", "password")
        self.browser.find_by_value('Log in').click()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.freezer.stop()

    def test_splinter_hang(self):
        self.freezer.stop()
        self.browser.find_by_text('Model does not exist').click()
        self.freezer.start()
        self.assertTrue(True)

Was able to figure this out using freezegun.configure: freezegun.configure(default_ignore_list=['splinter'])

Not an issue with splinter, closing
