Waiting Mechanism

The document discusses different waiting mechanisms in Selenium like using Thread.sleep(), implicit waits, and explicit waits. It provides code examples to demonstrate using each of these waiting mechanisms and how they help overcome issues with waiting for elements when automating tests without proper waits.

Waiting mechanism in Selenium

Waiting mechanism in Selenium and Java can be categorized as below:

Demonstrate a program which don't use waiting mechanism to understand the


importance of waiting mechanism in Selenium

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Demo {

public static void main(String args[]) {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://iamsandesh23.github.io/selenium.github.io/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.className("dropbtn")).click();

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Facebook")).click();

Using Thread.sleep() in Java to overcome the waiting problems


import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Demo {

public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://iamsandesh23.github.io/selenium.github.io/");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.className("dropbtn")).click();

Thread.sleep(3000);

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Facebook")).click();
}

}
Implicit Wait - Instead of halting the program till the specified time is
reached, Implicit wait will wait for all the web elements dynamically (i.e.
Global wait)
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Demo {

public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,
TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("https://iamsandesh23.github.io/selenium.github.io/");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.className("dropbtn")).click();

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Facebook")).click();

}
Explicit Wait - Instead of waiting for all the statements in the program,
Explicit wait will wait only for the specific web element
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class Demo {

public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);

driver.get("https://iamsandesh23.github.io/selenium.github.io/");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.className("dropbtn")).click();

WebElement element =
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.l
inkText("Facebook")));

element.click();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);


WebElement element =
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.linkText("Fac
ebook")));
element.click();

Also demonstrate 'ElementToBeClickable'

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class Demo {

public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);

driver.get("https://iamsandesh23.github.io/selenium.github.io/");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.className("dropbtn")).click();

WebElement element =
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkT
ext("Facebook")));

element.click();
