Hi Joe,

Fluent Wait is used to inform the WebDriver how long to wait for a condition and how often we want to check it before throwing an “ElementNotVisibleException” exception.

Its Syntax is as follows:

Wait wait = new FluentWait(WebDriver reference).withTimeout(timeout, SECONDS).pollingEvery(timeout, SECONDS).ignoring(Exception.class);
