Types of waits statement in the selenium WebDriver

Question

Accepted Answer

There are three types of waits in Selenium WebDriver: Implicit Wait, Explicit Wait, and Fluent Wait.

Implicit Wait: Waits for a certain amount of time before throwing an exception if the element is not found.
Explicit Wait: Waits for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code.
Fluent Wait: Waits for a certain condition to occur with a polling frequency before proceeding further in the code.
Examples: driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("example"))); Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver).withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10)).pollingEvery(Duration.ofMillis(500)).ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
