condition-based-waiting

Condition polling replaces fixed delays by continuously checking for actual state changes in asynchronous operations. It ensures deterministic test outcomes by verifying specific events, state transitions, or counts have successfully occurred before proceeding.

The best way to handle asynchronous testing is implementing waitFor patterns for events, state, or counts. This replaces guessing with deterministic polling to identify and wait for actual state changes, ensuring stable and reliable outcomes across different environments.

Yes, you can use condition polling without adding external dependencies. It requires no external inputs beyond your existing polling utilities, making it straightforward to integrate into your current test automation suite to handle flaky timings.

Condition-based waiting provides deterministic outcomes by identifying and waiting for the actual state change instead of relying on fixed timeouts. This removes arbitrary guesses, directly addressing race conditions and asynchronous operations that cause flaky tests.

You need condition polling when your tests experience race conditions, asynchronous operations, or flaky timings across environments and CI runs. It enables deterministic outcomes by explicitly waiting for state changes rather than relying on arbitrary delays.

Yes, condition-based waiting works directly with existing polling utilities. It requires no external inputs beyond those utilities and supports waitFor patterns to monitor events, state, or counts, allowing you to quickly replace arbitrary waits.
