is there a method to check if a testing application is busy?

[jlui]

In my testing application, i can giving instructions to create a large file, and later using it for comparison using files.compare.  However, because the file is large, i don't know how to delay my script until the large file is finished being created.  Is there a method or anything that can detect whether my application is "busy" so I can add the delay?

Hi,





You need to find some criterion meaning that your tested application has finished file creation. For example, this criterion can be the status bar's specific message or a notification dialog. In this case, you just need to wait until the status bar message becomes specific or the dialog appears.
