Unable to click the links which are associated with $timeout

[Shivaraj05]

Hi,

I am trying to click a link which is associated with $timeout, which will be displayed only for few seconds. After clicking navigate to the new page and verify some text.

But as i went through #169 , it says protractor waits for $timeout to finish. So can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

And the following information tells about the version i am using,
Bug report

• Operating System and Version : Ubuntu

Hi there!

Your question is better suited for StackOverflow or Gitter. Please ask a question there with the 'protractor' tag or post in the Gitter Channel to get help.

From the the getting help section of the README:

Please ask usage and debugging questions on StackOverflow (use the "protractor" tag) or in the Angular discussion group. (Please do not ask support questions here on Github.)

Thanks!

Hi,

I have checked StackOverflow or Gitter, but there are no any clear answers for this.

So please can you take this as a new requirement. Because there are scenarios where we need to have e2e tests for validating broadcasting many events after clicking some link which is visible only for few seconds.

And people have suggested for browser.ignoreSynchronization = true; But this doesn't work when we have scenarios as mentioned above.

So i think, this feature can add some good value to Protractor.

@Shivaraj05 this still seems like a usage/debugging issue. If this is a feature request, please open up a new issue with the feature request information filled out and an example use case (a repository would be very helpful!), otherwise it's difficult to understand what actually needs to be done.

Thanks!

Ok, i will create a issue with the actual scenario.
