selenium-webdriver Wait Fluent Wait
Example
Fluent wait is a superclass of explicit wait (WebDriverWait) that is more configurable since it can accept an argument to the wait function. I'll pass on implicit wait, since it's a best practice to avoid it.
Usage (Java):
Wait wait = new FluentWait<>(this.driver)
.withTimeout(driverTimeoutSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.pollingEvery(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.ignoring(StaleElementReferenceException.class)
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class)
.ignoring(ElementNotVisibleException.class);
WebElement foo = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.yourBy));
// or use your own predicate:
WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function() {
public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
return element.getText().length() > 0;
}
});
When you use Explicit wait with it's defaults it's simply a FluentWait<WebDriver> with defaults of: DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIMEOUT = 500; and ignoring NotFoundException.
