Different types of Waiting Mechanism in Selenium WebDriver

More details on waits:

  • > Thread.sleep()
    • – Belongs to Java and will hard wait even after the element is displayed
  • > Implicit Wait
    • – driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait() is a global wait and once declared at the beginning of the program or at the core of the framework level, will be applicable to all the web elements.
  • > WebDriverWait
    • – Waits explicitly for a specific web element
      • WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,5);
      • WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.linkText(“Facebook”)));
      • element.click();
  • > FluentWait
    • – Also similar to WebDriverWait with more flexibility in polling time and ignoring exceptions
    • //Waiting 30 seconds for an element to be present on the page, checking
    • //for its presence once every 5 seconds.
    • Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
      • .withTimeout(30,SECONDS);
      • .pollingEvery(5,SECONDS);
      • .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
    • WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>(){
      • public WebElement apply(WedDriver driver){
        • return driver.findElement(By.id(“foo”));
      • }
    • });
