Hi Mukesh thanks for such a short crisp and wonderful explanation, have been following your videos from quite long time now which helps enhancing my skills.still after 3 years i found your videos very useful and informative. I have few doubt hope you can clear them. In stackoverflow i found :"The implicit wait timeout is set to 0 by default. This means that if a command that finds elements does not find anything, it won't wait and throw NOSUCHElementException"- > default is set as 0 sec for implictWait is that means- implict wait is apply by defaut whenever we use commands like findElement or findElements despite not being explictly applied in script and bind with driver, however default time is 0 so hardly webdriver has to wait but implictWait definetly invoked. implictWait is not applied then default timeout 0 sec is set as default and binds with driver but once explictly applied then it will override by the set value but its sure if not apply then default 0 sec applied for sure. Please correct me if wrong?

Hi Mukesh, which wait should be used in case the scripts are failing only while running using CI/CD pipelines. When the tests are run in local they run successfully but fail in the pipeline.
Thanks!

Hi sir
I am working on a web application in my company where i am working on large web tables.The table have more than 1000 rows but when i am trying to get the row count i am only getting 41 rows as html itself is showing 41 rows and when i scroll the html keeps loading more rows and row count gets increase itself.
Can you help me with this is there any generic way in selenium to handle this??If we use wait mechanism will it be helpful.
Please let me know if there is any way to handle this thanks!!
