Validate text match failure question

adm — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 18:50:33 GMT

What type of wait should I use when a text validation fails but the Actual vs Expected screenshots are the same?

The default wait was Wait for background network activity to complete and I've also tried Wait for next event, which also seems to fail.

Or maybe validating against something else would be better?

Edit: possible that I might just think that text validation is more full proof than it really is. I'm working on a big script and maybe should validate less

You could try 'Wait for a specific element to appear' and then wait for the element that you expect the text to be in and also add that validation text into the wait.

Alright, I'll try this out. Thanks!
