how to make selenium wait for xpath to appear before continuing code example
Example 1: how to waitselenium webelement java
//required import
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Timeout in seconds
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
//Three most common explicit waits
//waits until the element is visible and can be clicked
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("button1")));
//waits until the element is visible on the page somewhere i.e. pixels > 0
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("text_box1")));
//waits until the element is removed from the page
//This one is helpful when moving from one page to another
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("text_box1")));
//implicit wait will wait a set time, similar to Thread.sleep();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//There is also a FluentWait, but I am unfamiliar with it
Example 2: explicit wait in selenium
2- Explicit Wait
explicit is waiting for
explicit condition to happen
Like:
-elementIsDisplayed
-titleIs()
-visibilityOf
-elementToBeClickable
We need to create object from
webdriverwait class
