Autopilot

Need a method or add to select_single so that it can wait for the object to exists instead of returning straight away.

Bug Description

At the moment there are cases where test authors need to inject many asserts/Eventuallys so that select_single/many returns an object that takes moments to appear in the introspection tree.

After discussion the best suggestion is a new method on an application proxy object similar to:

main_window = app.wait_select_single('QMainWindow')

(the new method name isn't set in rock, but is on of the better ones suggested.)
