Wait Node: Wait for file deletion stuck in loop

[mwiegand]

Hi,

if the Wait node is served file, which it shall wait until it’s deletion, but that file already got deleted, the wait node is getting stuck.

Hi @mwiegand and thank you for you feedback,

I created a ticket to add a new sub-settings which lets the node pass if “Deletion” is set and the file doesn’t exist anymore: AP-23345

I’d like to return to this issue as part of an appraoch to check for downloads still in progress. If the download finishes faster then the wait node can execute, or the wait node starts before the download, a typical race condition, the wait node is stuck in a loop.

@qqilihq FYI as we recently exchanged about options to monitor downloads in palladian-selenium

PS: My current appraoch looks like this:

1. Wait for download to init
2. Loop until no more “crdownload“ files are found (row count = 0)
