selenium wait until interactable python

Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browser interactions, but sometimes web pages may take some time to load or elements may become interactable at different times. To handle such scenarios, it's crucial to implement waiting strategies in your Selenium scripts. In this tutorial, we will focus on using Selenium's WebDriverWait to wait until elements become interactable in Python.
Let's consider a scenario where we want to interact with a button on a web page, but the button becomes clickable only after a certain condition is met (e.g., page load or some JavaScript execution).
Initializing the WebDriver:
Opening the Web Page:
Implementing WebDriverWait:
Use WebDriverWait along with expected_conditions to wait for an element to be interactable. In this example, we will wait for a button with the id "exampleButton" to be clickable.
In this example, WebDriverWait will repeatedly poll the DOM for up to 10 seconds, checking if the element with the specified ID becomes clickable. Once the element is found and is clickable, the script proceeds to click the button. If the element is not found within the specified time, an exception will be raised.
Execute the script using the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
Adjust the script according to your specific web page and elements, and you'll have a robust Selenium script that gracefully handles waiting for elements to become interactable.
