733769 - Add better support for delayed simple test ref test checks for themed widgets

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

This came up in bug 373266 - 

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=599984&action=diff

Using setTimeout isn't very reliable, what we really want to be able to do is insure we run through the event loop for paint refresh a few times before repeating the test. So for example, in place of 

SimpleTest.executeSoon(execNext)

something like 

SimpleTest.executeAfter(execNext, timeout)

where executeAfter uses the event loop as a delaying function and timeout is the maximum time we want to keep waiting. executeAfter should isnure at least one event loop gets executed. execNext would get called if the test succeeded, or after timeout / test failure.

Is a function like this sort of what you're looking for? <http://dxr.lanedo.com/mozilla-central/toolkit/components/passwordmgr/test/test_basic_form_autocomplete.html.html#l191>
