refactor handling of staleness ------------------------------ Key: ARQGRA-280 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQGRA-280 Project: Arquillian Graphene Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Jan Papousek Fix For: 2.0.0.Beta1 The current situation of handling staleness is it works purely accidentally in some cases and it prevents any caching of web elements. Imagine the following code: {code} Action action = new Actions(driver).moveToElement(element).build(); ... // some action causing staleness action.perform(); {code} The previous code doesn't throw StaleElementReferenceException only in the case when the action causing staleness finishes before the requested action starts performing and when there is no caching of web elements. Currently Graphene can't force the action to perform again when StaleElementReferenceException is thrown. In the case of caching the scenerio would be: # element is loaded and put to the cache # ... some actions ... # action causing staleness is performed # the requested action starts performing -- cached element is used => StaleElementReferenceException
