watir-dom-wait

Watir extension which provides with method to check for DOM changes.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'watir-dom-wait'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install watir-dom-wait

Require to monkey patch Watir::Element instance:

require 'watir-dom-wait'

There is only one method added:

browser.div(class: 'test').dom_changed?

which returns true if DOM is changed inside element or false if DOM is currently changing.

Default delay of waiting until DOM starts changing is 1.1 seconds, but can be changed:

browser.div(class: 'test').dom_changed?(delay: 2.5)

You probably don't want to use the method directly. Instead, you can combine usage of the method with built-in Watir waiting mechanism:

browser.div(class: 'test').wait_until(&:dom_changed?)

Using MutationObserver.
