Severity:
Medium
Context:
The logout functionality in the menu fails if the user clicks the logout button before the menu finishes loading.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Navigate to the application.
- Open the user menu.
- Immediately click the logout button before the menu finishes loading.
Expected Result:
The user logs out successfully every time.
Actual Result:
- Clicking too quickly causes the logout to fail.
- User remains logged in.
Root Cause:
The menu isn’t fully loaded before interaction.
No wait or synchronization mechanism is in place.
Impact:
- Frustrated users unable to logout reliably.
- Potential session or security issues if users assume they logged out.
Suggested Fix:
Add wait_for_selector() or equivalent to ensure the menu is fully loaded before interacting.
Lesson learnt:
“If your flow depends on perfect timing, it’s already broken.”
