So this is a bit of a performance question regarding Selenium Webdriver (Chromedriver) and Capybara.
I have some react-select dropdowns with quite a bit of data in them. For some reason the react-selects take a VERY VERY long time to pick out the option in them. The code is pretty simple and I grabbed it from here: https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/issues/832
But it basically comes down to:
page.find('.Select-control').click
page.find('.Select-option', text: 'the text').click
Thing is, this works fine. But it takes an extremely long time (Upwards of a minute a dropdown). Now...in Capybaras defense these dropdowns have a LOT of options to select from, so I thought selecting from the top-most item would be the fastest, but that doesn't seem to affect it.
Does Capybara/Selenium hold the "options" in a different sorted list somewhere or something? Since i'd assume selecting from a top option in the dropdown would be faster, but it doesn't seem to be?
