Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start with the linked Serenity BDD waiting-strategy documentation and compare its Target and action examples with ScreenPy's proposed Target and Click API. Define the supported waiting strategies, expected conditions, and acceptance criteria before implementation.

Description

I have been reviewing the serenity BDD repos again and looking at their implementation of Targets; specifically how wait strategies are incorporated.

I'm pondering if we want to attempt incorporating a similar strategy in screenpy whereby Target actions have the ability to control waiting strategies which include expected conditions. They also allow actions to control waiting strategies as well.

Thier example:

dina.attemptsTo(Click.on(INVISIBLE_BUTTON.waitingForNoMoreThan(Duration.ofSeconds(3))));

dina.attemptsTo(Click.on("#some-button").afterWaitingUntilPresent());

I can envision being able to do the following.

actor.will(Click(INVISIBLE_BUTTON.after_enabled()).waiting_for(5).seconds())
