and write test:

@Test
public void userCanLoginByUsername() {
  open("/login");
  $(By.name("user.name")).setValue("johny");
  $("#submit").click();
  $(".loading_progress").should(disappear); // Waits until element disappears
  $("#username").shouldHave(text("Hello, Johny!")); // Waits until element gets text
}
