Is there a waitApp command or similar

Asked by TestMechanic

I need to wait application to appear. I want to search it by title as in switchApp command(it seems more reliable). So is there such command?
I can search for image of the title but this doesn't seams a good option.

No, not a feature.

You can only wait for a specific window, if you know its title.

myApp = App("some part of a window title")
# start the app somehow
while not myApp.window():
    wait(1)

... but you must be sure, that the window will be there after some time - otherwise you have an infinite loop.

In general I believe that this is important synch point - wait_for_window_to_exist. And it will be a nice if it it out of box :-)

Thanks
