Loop?

[janbaudisch]

Is there any way to build a loop with the client?

This does not work:

let f = client.goto("http://url.tld")
    .and_then(move |_| {
        loop {
            client.by_selector('element') // <- never gets executed
            ...
        }
    });

But I am pretty sure there is some way to use futures to create a loop, I just don't really know where to start...

That example should work just fine. Are you sure that you are then running f?
If you look at the example over at https://docs.rs/fantoccini/0.7.2/fantoccini/, notice that you need to do

core.run(f).unwrap();

This is the way futures work -- you first sort of "set up" a computation, and then execute it.

That said, this is a somewhat weird way of doing things. Do you actually want an infinite loop in there? Why not something like:

core.run(client.goto("http://url.tld")).unwrap();
while let Ok(e) = core.run(client.by_selector("element")) {
  // ...
}

I got it working with your explanation.

Thank you!
