Attach is slow

[gaz77a]

When I run attach it takes 22s to execute.
If I use the browser manually the attach is instant.
I have the test ensure the field exists before using attach and I do a console log before and after the attach.
The size of the file is 80Kb and is attached successfully after the 22 seconds.

Any thoughts?

The code being run is similar to
await attach("/someDir/someFile.txt", fileField({ id: "fileInput" }), { force: true });

Thanks in advance

could be because the action is waiting for some navigation to complete.. if you dont want to wait for the resultant actions like XHRs you could pass {waitForNavigation: false} option

Thanks for checking on this, I just realised we don't wait for navigation during attach. Can you please provide a sample where you are seeing this lag for us understand this scenario better ? As the sample I tried seems to be working fine without any lag,

const { openBrowser, goto, fileField, attach, closeBrowser } = require('taiko');
(async () => {
    try {
        await openBrowser();
        await goto("https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_html_file_upload_button");
        await attach("/../Downloads/map.jpeg",fileField());
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    } finally {
        await closeBrowser();
    }
})();

Thanks @NivedhaSenthil
Here is the actual code.
I have placed a console log before and after to narrow down that it was the attach that was slow.
The first console log shows and then the second one takes 22s.

  console.log("fieldLabel", await fileField({ id: "fileInput" }).exists());
  await attach(filePath, fileField({ id: "fileInput" }), { force: true  });
  console.log("after attach");

Can you please also share a snippet of html and js where we can replicate this ?

[gaz77a]

If I extract the code for the modal window so I can share it with you I can't reproduce the issue.
The issue is only when using taiko with our full application.
Is there any tracing I can view locally to see what Taiko is doing during the 22s?

Thanks in advance
