implicitwait

This is the first time I use selenium and headless browser as I want to crawl some web page using ajax tech. The effect is great, but for some case it takes too much time to load the whole page(especially when some resource is unavailable),so I have to set a time out for the selenium. First of all I tried set_page_load_timeout() and set_script_timeout() ,but when I set these timeouts, I won't get any page source if the page doesn't load completely, as the codes below: driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options) driver.set_page_load_timeout(5) driver.set_script_timeout(5) try: driver.get

Yes, I know both are used to wait for some specified time. Selenium: driver.implicitly_wait(10) Python: import time time.sleep(10) Is there any difference between these two? time.sleep(secs) time.sleep(secs) suspends the execution of the current thread for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time. The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any caught signal will terminate the sleep() following execution of that signal’s catching routine. Also, the suspension time may be longer than requested by an

I currently have the following setup, but I'm not sure that my waits (Implicit and pageLoadTimeout) are working. Is this the proper implementation? By putting it in the @Before("@setup"), does it work for every Scenario or Step Definition run? Will the driver wait accordingly, everytime I call a @Given, @When..etc? @Before("@setup") public void setUp() { driver.manage().deleteAllCookies(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); } Why is it necessary to assign a WebElement to the following wait , what

I am a beginner. I understand what waits basically does but I am confused over how different tutorials over the internet place it and explain it. For example, in the below code it is placed before loading the URL. So, is it only to wait for the URL to be loaded or for finding the element or both? Is is true that if I use an implicit wait once in my try block, it will be applicable for every element search I am performing in my code? from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.Firefox() driver.implicitly_wait(10) # seconds driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading")
