Element not found with Zalenium webdriver and scrolled down about widgetastic.core HOT 1 OPEN

If I were still working on Widgetastic, I would probably suggest creating a sort of "middleware" system for the methods of browser and decorate all relevant browser methods with it:

@plugin_handler
def move_to_element(self, ...):
    # ...

Then the plugin_handler would look into the browser plugin instance for clues what to do when anything unexpected happens. Might be a simple value (retry_stale_element could be moved into that middleware as a retry_stale_element = True|False), or a method per browser-method where one could fine-tune things the framework does when situations specific to the project happen and drive it from there. An example for this use case could look something like this:

class MyBrowserPlugin(BrowserPlugin):
    class Handlers:
        def move_to_element(self, executor):
            try:
                return executor()
            except AnException:
                if executor.params.something:
                    raise  # Give up based on the params passed to the move_to_elements
                do_something()
                return executor(with_modified_param="eg_foo")

    class Tweaks:
        retry_on_stale_element = {'move_to_element', 'whatever_else'}

btw. hai 👋
