Implicit wait
- waits till element will be displayed on a page
- waits till timeout
- if element was not found, it throws:
[Link]: no such
element
Example:
[Link]().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30,
[Link]); By:

Explicit wait
1) customizable timeout Example:
2) flexible wait for events: WebDriverWait wait = new
● element's presence WebDriverWait( driver, 30);
[Link](
● element (in-)visibility ExpectedConditions

● till page loaded .elementToBeClickable(searchButton));

● till alert displayed


● till Javascript returns some value

Do not mix implicit and explicit waits
if you use explicit waits,
then implicit wait should not be used be or set to ‘0’

● implicit wait equals 0 by default,


● it could be set to zero manually:
[Link]().timeouts().implicitlyWait( 0, TimeUnit. SECONDS);

Custom wait example
boolean isElementDisplayed(By by, int timeout) throws
InterruptedException {
List<WebElement> elements = [Link](by);
for(int i = 0; (i < timeout) && ([Link]() == 0); i++) {
Thread. sleep(1000);
elements = [Link](by);
}
return [Link]() > 0;
}
