  • Selenium WebDriver Waits : Implicit , Explicit and Fluent Wait

    This article will present you with a complete idea about Wait commands used in selenium and different waits used by webDriver for executing our test scripts smoothly.

    We will learn below topics in this tutorials

    Wait commands in Selenium :

    Waits are required  in Selenium to ensure that the flow of the test cases should be in synchronisation with the application under test.

    When test cases are run, the application may not always respond with the same .

    We can handle these anticipated timing problems by synchronising our test to ensure that Selenium WebDriver waits until the application is ready before performing a certain action.

    When a page is loaded by the browser ,the elements which we want to interact with may load at different time intervals due to usage Ajax and Javascript in the application so we have to provide some waits for performing an action on a particular element.

    Selenium webDriver provides three types of waits :

      • Implicit Wait
      • Explicit Wait
      • Fluent Wait

    Implicit Wait in Selenium WebDriver

    We are telling WebDriver to wait for a specific amount of time before it can expect the element to be visible after loading.

    so after waiting for a specific time , it will try finding the element. If still element is not found, NoSuchElementFound  Exception will be thrown.

    Syntax –

     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(time, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    there are two parameters used by this

    time – It  is an integer value Second parameter is the time measurement in terms of SECONDS, MINUTES, MILLISECOND, MICROSECONDS, NANOSECONDS, DAYS, HOURS, etc. Example-

    WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("https://tutorialshut.com");
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    

    Explicit Wait in Selenium WebDriver

      • Explicit wait is used to tell the Web Driver to wait for certain conditions (Expected Conditions)  before proceeding with executing the code.
      • Explicit wait is applicable to only a certain element which is specific to a certain condition.
      • The Explicit wait is one of the dynamic Selenium waits which waits dynamically for specific conditions.
      • The Explicit wait can be implemented by WebDriverWait class.

    Syntax – 

     WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
     WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(“ID”)));

    We will use the wait reference variable for using predefined methods of the ExpectedCondition Class in above command.

    Below are a few Expected Conditions which can be used in Explicit Wait.

      • elementToBeClickable()
      • elementToBeSelected()
      • alertIsPresent()
      • elementSelectionStateToBe()
      • invisibilityOfTheElementLocated()
      • invisibilityOfElementWithText()
      • visibilityOfAllElements()
      • visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy()
      • visibilityOfElementLocated()
      • presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy()
      • presenceOfElementLocated()
      • textToBePresentInElement()
      • textToBePresentInElementLocated()
      • textToBePresentInElementValue()
      • visibilityOf()
        In our selenium scripts  we are also using Thread.Sleep() ,It is a static wait and  it is not recommended to use.

    Fluent Wait in Selenium WebDriver

    We are telling WebDriver to poll the DOM every ‘n’ second to check if the element is visible on the page. For Explicit wait,  Polling frequency is by default 500 milliseconds. and in fluent wait polling frequency can be changed based on your needs, During polling, in case you do not find an element, you can ignore any exception for example  ‘NoSuchElement’ exception etc. Syntax:

    FluentWait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
                                 .withTimeout(TotalTime, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                                 .pollingEvery(pollingTime, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                                 .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

    Example:

    FluentWait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
    .withTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS) //total amount of time to wait for
    .pollingEvery(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS) //polling frequency
    .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
    

    In above command

      • Total timeout is defined as 15 Seconds and a polling time of 2 secs. 
      • so WebDriver will not wait for 15 sec similar to implicit wait  .The fluent wait will keep on finding the element every 2 secs.

    Practice Exercise

      1.  Launch a Browser
      2. Open URL “https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/”
      3. Click on the Button “Generate Alert Box”
      4. Use Explicit wait for Alert to be appeared let’s say 2 sec)
      5. Accept the Alert
    package com.test;
     
    import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
    import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
    import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
     
    public class WaitCommands {
     
         public static WebDriver driver;
         public static void main(String[] args) {
     
    		// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
                       driver = new FirefoxDriver();
     
    		// define Implicit wait which will be applicable for all elements before throwing an exception
     
    		driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
     
    		// Launch the URL
     
    		driver.get("https://tutorialshut.com/demo-website-for-selenium-automation-practice/");
     
    		// Click on the Button "Generate Alert Box" Button
     
    		driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Generate Alert Box']")).click();
     
    		// Create new WebDriver wait
     
    		WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
     
    		// Wait for Alert to be present
     
    		Alert alertbox1 = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
     
    		// Accept the Alert
     
    		alertbox1.accept();
     
    		// Close the main window
     
    		driver.close();
     
    	}
     
    }
