Waits
Implicit wait – An implicit wait is to tell the WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain
amount of time when trying to find an element or elements if they are not
immediately available
[Link]().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, [Link]);
Fluent Wait – It defines the maximum amount of time to wait for a certain
condition as well as the frequency to check for the condition to appear
Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
.withTimeout([Link](30))
.pollingEvery([Link](5))
.ignoring([Link]);
WebElement foo = [Link](new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
return [Link]([Link]("foo"));
}
});
Explicit Wait – It is used to wait until a certain condition occurs before proceeding
further in the code.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
[Link]([Link]([Link]("login")));
Screenshots
TakeScreenshot:
It is used to capture screenshot for current browsing context
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs([Link]);
[Link](scrFile, new File("./[Link]"));
TakeElementScreenshot:
It is Used to capture screenshot of an element for current browsing context.
File scrFile = [Link]([Link]);
[Link](scrFile, new File("./[Link]"));
