How to perform the Explicit Wait method In Selenium with C Sharp?

Hey Ana,

The Explicit Wait is used to tell the Web Driver to wait for certain conditions (Expected Conditions) or the maximum time exceeded before throwing an “ElementNotVisibleException” exception.

This can be achieved with the combination of WebDriverWait and ExpectedConditions.

WebDriverWait by default calls ExpectedCondition to poll by every 500 milliseconds until it returns successfully.

Here’s the code snippet:

public static void ExplicitWait(WebDriver driver, WebElement element) {
   (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(element));
}

The results are in the iframe so, switch to it and then get the .page_source

iframe = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#mainContent iframe")
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

I also added a wait for the table to be loaded:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

#locate and switch to the iframe
iframe = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#mainContent iframe")
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

#wait for the table to load
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,'companyName')))

print(driver.page_source)
