(UIAElementArray) elements() is slow

Question

It takes 4 sec to execute. Is it normal? I'm developing a search method, that crawls trough the element tree, but in each iteration when I call an element's elements() method, it holds for 4 sec. Having 15 nodes in the tree, it takes a minute! Any idea on how to find an element?

Answer 1

Use the methods on UIATarget to decrease the default timeout (5 seconds), for example pushTimeout(0.5).
