Reduce calls to waitForAngular in map function

[smhc]

The following to query the text for each cell of a table performs a 'waitForAngular' for every cell, which is very slow for a large table.

Is it possible to only call 'waitForAngular' once when invoked via 'map' ? Is there any way to turn off the synchronisation during this iteration? Using 'ignoreSynchronisation=true' doesn't allow turning sync on and off arbitrarily mid test due to the queuing design of web driver.

getTableText = function() {
        return element.all(by.repeater('row in rows')).map(function(rowResults) {
            return rowResults.all(by.repeater('col in cols')).map(function(cellResults) {
                return cellResults.getText();
            });
        });
    };

We can't turn off waitForAngular for all calls to map, since some may modify the page and cause race conditions. We can probably do something to give better control over using ignoreSynchronization though.

Would it be quicker to wait for the table to load then get the data via jquery? That's what we did and it reduced time to read data significantly.

Yes please. A method to 'queue' the setting for ignoreSynchronization would help address the problem.
