760699 - waitForElement() doesn't work anymore for lazily created elements

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing Graveyard :: Mozmill, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

This is another regression from the MozElement implementation. The attached testcase works fine with Mozmill 1.5.x but fails on master. Should also have been regressed by bug 632451.

You can even set the timer to 1ms and the issue will also appear.

So this test fails with Nightly but not with Aurora:

Nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1 ID:20120530132235

Aurora:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120530 Firefox/14.0a2 ID:20120530042008

Somewhat a regression in Firefox with httpd serving content too slow?

This bug will not be taken for version 2.1. We might want to re-evaluate for 2.2.

Mozmill will reach its end of life soon. We are currently working on getting
all the tests for Firefox ported to Marionette. For status updates please see
bug 1080766.
