Selenium - Wait until element is NOT visible

Question

In the code below, I attempt to wait until an element is visible:

var wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver.Instance, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(ExpectedCon         


        

Answer 1

As of 2020, ExpectedConditions is deprecated in .NET.

For some reason, I was not able to make IgnoreExceptionTypes work.

The only solution that worked for me was the one proposed by Anoop. One thing I like about his solution is it returns as soon as the element becomes invisible.

I generalized his solution a bit as follows:

//returns as soon as element is not visible, or throws WebDriverTimeoutException
protected void WaitUntilElementNotVisible(By searchElementBy, int timeoutInSeconds)
{
    new WebDriverWait(_driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeoutInSeconds))
                    .Until(drv => !IsElementVisible(searchElementBy));
}

private bool IsElementVisible(By searchElementBy)
{
    try
    {
        return _driver.FindElement(searchElementBy).Displayed;

    }
    catch (NoSuchElementException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

Usage:

WaitUntilElementNotVisible(By.Id("processing"), 10);
