Within my Angular codebase, I have implemented long polling functionality using the following code snippet:
var request = function() {
$http.post(url).then(function(res) {
var shouldStop = handleData(res);
if (!shouldStop()) {
request()
}
};
}
request();
This function is executed immediately upon page load.
However, when attempting to set up testing in Protractor, I encountered the following error message:
Failed: Timed out waiting for Protractor to synchronize with the page after 11 seconds. For more information, please refer to https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/faq.md. The following tasks were pending:
After consulting the documentation, I learned that:
Protractor requests Angular to wait until the page has finished synchronizing before performing any actions. This includes ensuring all timeouts and HTTP requests are completed. If your application makes continuous use of $timeout or $http for polling, it may not be recognized as fully loaded. In such cases, consider implementing the $interval service (interval.js) for continuous polling tasks (introduced in Angular 1.2rc3).
I am now seeking guidance on how to modify my existing code to incorporate $interval. While I understand that interval is an angular substitute for window.setInterval, I'm unsure about its usage in the context of long polling.
