Explicit Wait in Selenium WebDriver

Selenium WebDriver provides the “WebDriverWait” and “ExpectedCondition” classes for implementing an explicit wait condition. The following example sets the explicit wait time for a new WebElement called “loginWindow” that is identified by its xpath ("//*[@id=\"ui-id-1\"]") to 15 seconds. This overrides implicit timeout for this WebElement.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);       

WebElement loginWindow;

loginWindow= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ui-id-1\"]")));

loginWindow.click();

Below are the some common conditions that you frequently use while automating application:

Condition

WebDriver ExpectedConditions

An element is visible and enabled

elementToBeClickable(By locator)

An element is selected

elementToBeSelected(WebElement element)

Presence of an element

presenceOfElementLocated(By locator)

Specific text present in an element

textToBePresentInElement(By locator, java.lang.String text)

Element value

textToBePresentInElementValue(By locator, java.lang.String text)

Title

titleContains(java.lang.String title)

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

 

public class Example {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

                // configure chromedriver

                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "F:\\My_Programs\\Selenium\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver.exe");

                WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

                WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);

               

                // Launch website

                driver.get("https://www.registration.tools4testing.com/");

               

                // Click on the Login Button

                driver.findElement(By.id("loginopener")).click();

                // Focus on the dialog window by click on dialog window title

                WebElement loginWindow;

                loginWindow= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ui-id-1\"]")));

                loginWindow.click();

               

                // Enter user name

                driver.findElement(By.id("loginUsername")).sendKeys("manu.m@tools4testing.com");

               

                // Enter user password

                driver.findElement(By.id("loginPassword")).sendKeys("hello");

               

                // Click on the Login Button

                driver.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();

               

                WebElement loginSuccessWindow;

                loginSuccessWindow = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ui-id-3\"]")));

                loginSuccessWindow.click();

               

                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginSuccessDialog\"]/div/span/input")).click();

               

                //close the driver

                driver.quit();

               

        }
