explicit wait vs implicit wait code example

Example 1: implicit wait

1- Implicit Wait
Everytime we are trying to locate a webelement
is triggered. By default wait time is 0 second.
If we set the time to 10 seconds, and our driver
not able to find element, it will count for
given time. If element findst the webelement
it doesn't throw an exception.

Example 2: can we use implicit wait and explicit wait together

Mixing both of them can cause unpredictable wait times.

Implicit wait is defined only once in the code.
It will remain same throughout the driver object instance.

Explicit wait is defined whenever it is necessary in the code. 
This wait will call at the time of execution. It is a conditional wait.

Explicit wait will override the implicit wait whereever
explicit wait is applied. So, Explicit Wait gets first preference
then Implicit Wait.

Example 3: implicit wait vs explicit wait

In Implicit wait, if WebDriver is not able to
locate an element, it will wait for a specified
amount of time for the element to appear, 
before throwing an exception.

Explicit wait is a type of wait , which is used to
stop the execution till a specific condition is true;
We use WebDriverWait and ExpectedCondition classes of
Selenium web driver to implement explicit wait.
Implicit wait is general, explicit wait is applied
for a particular instance only.



WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(txtFirstname));
