What is a fluent wait?

#2

Hello Matthew-phillips,

A fluent wait is a type of wait in which we can also specify the polling intervals (the time intervals after which the driver will try to find the elements when not located) along with the maximum timeout value.

Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
 
    .withTimeout(20, SECONDS)
 
    .pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)
 
    .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
 
  WebElement textBox = wait.until(new Function<webdriver,webElement>() {
 
    public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
 
    return driver.findElement(By.id("textBoxId"));
 
    }
}
);
