What is WebDriverWait Python?
Selenium Webdriver provides two types of waits - implicit & explicit. An explicit wait makes WebDriver wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further with execution. An implicit wait makes WebDriver poll the DOM for a certain amount of time when trying to locate an element.
Explicit wait is implemented by element level element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until( EC.presence_of_element_located((elementidentifier))
This makes driver session to wait till the element located and wsit 10 second before throw element not found error.
There are some common conditions that are frequently of use when automating web browsers. title_is title_contains presence_of_element_located visibility_of_element_located visibility_of presence_of_all_elements_located text_to_be_present_in_element text_to_be_present_in_element_value frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it invisibility_of_element_located element_to_be_clickable staleness_of element_to_be_selected element_located_to_be_selected element_selection_state_to_be element_located_selection_state_to_be alert_is_present
Implicit Wait driver.implicitly_wait(10)
When trying to identify any element (or elements) that aren’t immediately available, WebDriver uses an implicit wait to poll the DOM for a set period of time. The default value is 0. (zero). The implicit wait is set for the life of the WebDriver object once it is set.
