What is fluent wait
Fluent Wait - a class in Selenium api

When you want to:
apply wait to specific element
set max wait time period
set polling frequency
set to ignore specific exceptions

Syntax :

Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
.withTimeout(30, SECONDS)
.pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)

Syntax for Selenium 4:
Wait＜WebDriver＞ wait = new FluentWait＜WebDriver＞(driver)

Why we use waits
The elements load time on a web page can vary

Not all the elements are loaded at the same time

In applications developed using Ajax, Javascript etc, objects on web page may load at different time

To handle this, we need to use waits in Selenium

With the help of waits, we can enable the script to wait for sometime before throwing No Such Element exception

What is difference between WebDriverWait and FluentWait ?
I feel WebDriverWait does same task with less lines of code.

[milindprabhakarshirsat]

Hello sir, I have one condition in a portal where there is a random allocation, allocation happens after random interval time like 2 sec, 2 min, 2 hour. So I have to automate in a way whenever the allocation will happened it should auto accept .
Any suggestion for making this script ?

Hi Raghav could you explain how to write fluent wait code in typescript?

[icebluebear]

In Selenium 4.0, we have to use "Java.time.duration", so the wait method would be

[rahuldubey]

"withTimeout(10, TimeUnit.Seconds)" and PollingEvery(2, TimeUnit.Seconds)" getting error that it is deprecated after Selenium v3.11.0. Using and will work now. Import Java.time.Duration

[zameerkhan]

Hi Raghav,
Which version of selenium are you using?
I'm getting methods depreciated warning for version 3.14.0.
I used 2.53.0 but the browser is closing very soon.

[hima]

Wait<WebDriver> wait = new
.withTimeout(30, SECONDS)
.pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)


I got error here as well
It didn't work saying WebDriverWait deprecated in Selenium 4.0.0-alpha-3. as I am using selenium-java version 4.0.0-alpha-5

Later I found out that
Wait<WebDriver> wait = new



There is change in syntax n it worked for me
Hope this works for someone

Thanks in advance
Hima

Hi Raghav, I am getting the following error with FluentWait, "The type FluentWait is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <WebDriver>" and I am selenium 3.12. Can you please advise. Thank you in advance.

[vamsikumili]

How does he is able to click on a link of page 2 from page 1?

[yuvraj]

[bartomiejkmita]

This reminds me CompletableFeature from Java threads :D I find it similar in some ways.

[ashwinilohar]

Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
.withTimeout(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {

public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
return
}
});


Error is
The method withTimeout(Duration) in the type FluentWait<WebDriver> is not applicable for the arguments (int, TimeUnit)


please Help
