This tutorial will teach you how to use Selenium WebDriver's builtin waits to wait for certain condition to occur. Most false failures happen due to timing and waits will solve that problem. Applying Selenium WebDriver waits correctly will improve reliability of tests greatly.

Can we simply say that implicit means 'global' or 'common' time for searching and explicit is a specific time for searching a specific element?

[retiredshitposter]

How do I make an if statement like... IF element not found make alert and quit driver

What exactly is implicitly_wait looking for?
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# driver.implicitly_wait(30) # If he finds it sooner, he won't wait any longer. Looking for everything possible

url = ' '

driver.get(url)
#my_btn = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'slow_btn')
#my_btn.click()
# my_page = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'the_slow_image')

# wait no more than 10 seconds until all elements with the specified id are found
my_image = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.ID, 'the_slow_image')))

print('I explicitly waited and I finally found the element')

WebDriverWait로 대기를 하게 했는데요

EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, 이렇게 XPATH를 직접 넣으면 문제 없는데요

동일한데 저 XPATH를 변수에 담아서 넣는 식으로 아래와 같이

temp =
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, temp))

이런식으로 하니

<class ::: Message: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression

이런 Exception이 발생합니다....
이건 왜 이런가요?
