@WithTimeout error reports default timeout value

[justintilson]

I just started using the @WithTimeout annotation to customize the timeout for a few page object properties. It works great. However, if the property times out, the error message that is displayed is the default value.

For example

@WithTimeout(time = 30, unit = TimeUnit.SECONDS)
@AndroidFindBy(uiAutomator = "new UiSelector().resourceId(\"com.wholefoods.wholefoodsmarket:id/recipesSearchResultsGrid\")")
private MobileElement searchResults;

The property fails to load in 30 seconds and the TimeException displays the following error:

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timed out after 12 seconds waiting for visibility of ...

This made me think that the @WithTimeout annotation wasn't working but it is.

Hi @justintilson It is very interesting! This string looks weird

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timed out after 12 seconds waiting for visibility of

I've looked at code for places that check visibility of elements or use specific ExpectedCondition's that wait for element visible. There is code that waits for the proxied element: https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/pagefactory/AppiumElementLocator.java#L31 Here function is performed: https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/pagefactory/AppiumElementLocator.java#L149

So it shouldn't throw any exception. The only place where exception is thrown: https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/pagefactory/AppiumElementLocator.java#L169

NoSuchElementException is more expected than TimeOutException.

Could you provide detailed code samples that throw exception like you mentioned and server outputs? Please give us links to gists.

@justintilson Also please add to this ticket detailed exception stack trace. It should be very useful for the problem investigation.
