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

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.
