what is 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: 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

Example 3: waits in selenium

- Synchronization is making sure our driver
  and browser are on the same page.
- Since selenium browser driver is a lot
  faster compared to the browsers , we use
  different types of waits to make sure
  selenium is synchronized with browsers.

There are 3 wait types to handle synchronization
issue from selenium;

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.

2- Explicit Wait & 3- Fluent Wait
Both explicit and fluent wait is waiting for
explicit condition to happen
Like:
-elementIsDisplayed
-titleIs()
-visibilityOf
-elementToBeClickable
I use explicit wait in my framework

**THREAD.SLEEP
There is also thread.sleep comes from java library.
I always avoid to use it since it makes my
automation framework slower and heavier.
Thread.sleep basically holds the whole execution
for given time without any condition

Example 4: 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));
