Wait for page load in Selenium

Question

How do you make Selenium 2.0 wait for the page to load?

Answer 1

You can use wait. there are basically 2 types of wait in selenium

• Implicit wait
• Explicit wait

- Implicit wait

This is very simple please see syntax below:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

- Explicit wait

Explicitly wait or conditional wait in this wait until given condition is occurred.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("someid")));

You can use other properties like visblityOf(), visblityOfElement()
