Explicit Wait in Selenium


By using the Explicit Wait command, the WebDriver is directed to wait until a certain
condition occurs before proceeding with executing the code.
Setting Explicit Wait is important in cases where there are certain elements that
naturally take more time to load.
Explicit wait is more intelligent, but can only be applied for specified elements.
However, it is an improvement on implicit wait since it allows the program to pause
for dynamically loaded Ajax elements.
In order to declare explicit wait, one has to use “ExpectedConditions”. The following
Expected Conditions can be used in Explicit Wait.

 alertIsPresent()
 elementSelectionStateToBe()
 elementToBeClickable()
 elementToBeSelected()
 frameToBeAvaliableAndSwitchToIt()
 invisibilityOfTheElementLocated()
 invisibilityOfElementWithText()
 presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy()
 presenceOfElementLocated()
 textToBePresentInElement()
 textToBePresentInElementLocated()
 textToBePresentInElementValue()
 titleIs()
 titleContains()
 visibilityOf()
 visibilityOfAllElements()
 visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy()
 visibilityOfElementLocated()

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);

Fluent Wait in Selenium


Fluent Wait in Selenium marks the maximum amount of time for Selenium
WebDriver to wait for a certain condition (web element) becomes visible.
It also defines how frequently WebDriver will check if the condition appears before
throwing the “ElementNotVisibleException”.

Fluent Wait looks for a web element repeatedly at regular intervals until timeout
happens or until the object is found.
Fluent Wait commands are most useful when interacting with web elements that can
take longer durations to load. This is something that often occurs in Ajax
applications.

While using Fluent Wait, it is possible to set a default polling period as needed. The
user can configure the wait to ignore any exceptions during the polling period.
Fluent waits are also sometimes called smart waits because they don’t wait out the
entire duration defined in the code. Instead, the test continues to execute as soon as
the element is detected – as soon as the condition specified in
.until(YourCondition) method becomes true.
//Declare and initialise a fluent wait

FluentWait wait = new FluentWait(driver);

//Specify the timout of the wait

wait.withTimeout(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

//Sepcify polling time

wait.pollingEvery(250, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

//Specify what exceptions to ignore

wait.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class)

//This is how we specify the condition to wait on.

//This is what we will explore more in this chapter

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());

Implicit Wait in Selenium


Implicit Wait directs the Selenium WebDriver to wait for a certain measure of time
before throwing an exception. Once this time is set, WebDriver will wait for the
element before the exception occurs.
Once the command is in place, Implicit Wait stays in place for the entire duration for
which the browser is open. It’s default setting is 0, and the specific wait time needs to
be set by the following protocol.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
