How to implement FluentWait in Selenium Webdriver

[@AshishDubeyash4you]

Thanks for so detailed information brother in very simple way. Lots of blessings from a Beginner for your outstanding work!!

[@mrinal48]

hi mukesh ,I am a beginner in selenium your videos are very simple and easy to understand, In the above video you have mentioned that the way to get text displayed is using Inner HTML tag. However in the code and the video you later say that the code written inside the web page has a piece of code or rather a function added by you to retrive the value from the web page. Kindly clarify the same.

[@ahmadodeh7551]

@Mukesh Thanks for your videos, please let us know what is more efficient to use explicit wait or fluent wait?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ahmad, I personally use explicit wait :)

[@vikrantsingh2804]

Hi Mukesh , I have a question regarding default polling time for waits .....some says default polling time is 5000 ms..some says 2500 ms....can you tell me what is default polling time

[@xueyanpan3626]

I am very pleased to see your video, you talk about the class is very professional, great help to me, I have a question to ask you, why in the webdriver quit () method on IE browser does not work?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hey Mate I shared the code with You hope it helped.

[@nishabelgi4077]

Hi Mukesh, How do we add the source jar from selenium add to eclipse/projetc so that it shows sample example code and we can cut and paste or to get more info?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Nisha this will help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn_NfGmVqsefsMk

[@Rahulchandra95]

Hi Mukesh, so the only advantage fluent wait has over explicit wait is controlling polling rate. Am I right ?

[@prabhsingh7686]

Hi Mukesh...I have a doubt... In tutorial we use "Wait wait=...... nd in blog it is FluentWait wait=... is there is difference btw syntax???

[@victorbrown7718]

Wait is interface which is implemented in FluentWait class

[@sandhyarani2014]

Hi Mukesh, I cracked a interview and i got a job on selenium in infosys by watching your videos. Thank you So much And here in this video of fluentwait i had a doubt that is in my code when i type FLue its not opening the small window to copy the source code of FLuentWait as you showed Could you please suggest me the solution

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes Sandhya, You have to add source code for this. Then only this option will come. Follow below video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5LHd4WanJuIh6M and add src jar of Selenium selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html Download 2.53 and unzip > You will get src jar > then follow above video. Finally many many congratulations for new Job :) Cheers

[@sureshpudi92]

Hi mukesh , i am watching all the videos what you done .I am waiting for hybrid framework concept please upload that and finally thanks for making this videos for all the selenium learners.thankssss alot.........

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hey Suresh, Thank you for nice compliment. For Hybrid I have already uploaded on paid course. Hope it will help learn-automation.usefedora.com/p/selenium-frameworks-and-selenium-question-answers

[@rajiniyalamarthy4480]

Hi Mukesh, what is the difference between ElementNotFoundException and NoSuchElementExcepotion?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Rajini NoSuchElementExcepotion is child class of NotFoundException Below is the link seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/NoSuchElementException.html

[@rajiniyalamarthy4480]

​@@Mukeshotwani Thanks for responding Mukesh!! I gone through the link specified.But, that is not explaining at which scenarios we get ElementNotFoundException and NoSuchelementException.

[@Themotivequoter]

Hi Mukesh Sir, I am new to Selenium and wanted to know why you didn't use Testng for the Explicit wait and Fluent wait Examples. Is it so that we can t use Testng for PSVM classes?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ashwin, TestNG is test framework only. PLease check below video for more details kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYXXd4akj75nnJo

[@saisindhu3447]

Thank you so much for all the effort yuo put on sharing these vedios. Could you please provide the details on how rae you using chrome driver with out using system.set property. Please share the points.

Hello Mukesh, does it possible for Windows or Linux ?? thnx & regards.

[@zeeshanalam4407]

I have one question . I have checked in internet it was written default polling is not present in implicit wait.? but in this video u told 250 milisec. Pls check this. Thanks

very nice explanation ....Thanx a lot ur job.A small request ,kindly make the audio volume a little up.

Hi Mukesh, when I implement the given code, I am getting the error as "The type FluentWait is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments". Please help. Thanks!

[@bitubaruah8741]

HI Mukesh you are doing a great job. I have post a question on your facebook page regarding selenium, can you please suggest me some solutions?? TIA

Sure Bitu will do that

[@lakshmivinnakota5011]

Hi Mukesh, Thank you for the detailed explanation about the Fluent wait , but when i implement the given code, i am getting the error as "The type FluentWait is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments". Please help.

[@mdsohailshareef1257]

Same for me

[@KevinLi-wx1kq]

Thanks for the good work, but one question - can I use 'any wait' method to let the test waiting 60 seconds (after that throws NoSuchElementException) and check every one second for 'every element' in the whole test life? Now seems I have to define for every element I want to check, and Implicit Wait (and Thread.sleep()) may waste some time if server's fast, and FluentWait, ExplicitWait and TimeOut (pageLoad and setScript) seems work on each element, so wonder 'any wait method' can define once and work for the all tests (sorry, I am too lazy, lol), thanks (it seems impossible - we need to define condition/element for each FluentWait instance, and the same for other methods)

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes Kevin so I use my own lib to solve sync issues. Have a look www.ontestautomation.com/using-the-extentreports-testng-listener-in-selenium-page-object-tests/

Hi Sir, I have a server that Supports 200 script only but i have 2000 Script then how i will execute this.After every 200 Script i will manually restart the server or we can automate this so after every 200 script it will execute the next script automatically.

[@asisharavind655]

Thanks Mukesh. Very helpful videos for the beginners.. I have a question. I’m unable to import fluent wait library even though I added external jar file selenium-support-2.9.0. When I’m trying to mouse over the error on FluentWait, it doesn’t give me an option to import library. ? Please help

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ashish, Just add one single jar in project and remove others. Here is the link for jar goo.gl/tbd1NS

[@jamescathode6917]

is element is never found, an exception is thrown right?In that case, we must put this inside a try catch block?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi James, you can use ignoring methods in FluentWait , no need to use try catch :)

[@sanguk8699]

hi mukesh, we have one issue with our application which can be reproduce though scripts only in Internet explorer 11 but manually not reproducing. Issue: Thier is link corresponds to a form whenever click on that link we are getting login page instead of something we expecting. We discussed this issue with our developers, they are telling that ,the movement when you clicking that link through script your selenium lossing authentication cookies or may be loosing sessions (JSESSION).That's why your getting login page if u have any solutions plz let me know

[@amitinpune]

Hey Mukesh.. how do you add JAVADOCs for Selenium?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Amit, You can download src file from below url and add into project selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

[@abdulnawas]

Hi mukesh, R u using Selenium 3.0 jars?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes I used :)

[@waniya-huzzu]

Hi Mukesh, I have a page when i click on link it will call ajax functionality and ajax loader icon will be display and then result will display, if result is true then that message is displaying for very few seconds and it gets disappear but when response is false its displaying longer , getting text from the false response is easy but from true response getting no such element exception. what could be the approach to handle this.

[@Cherupakstmt]

Sir can you please explain why @Override is used in the link post below

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Rupak, apply is method which is coming from Function interface so we have to override the apply method based on our requirement.

[@prateekkakkar8145]

Hi mukesh, can you please help me understand when to use webdriver wait and when to use fluent wait.As webdriverwait extends fluent wait class. so all methods in fluent wait can be used with webdriverwait. For example: polling can be used with webdriverwait wait also.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Prateek, let me conclude in simple line when we have to use Custom condition then only go with Fluent Wait else WebDriverWait will be more than sufficient.

[@prateekkakkar8145]

@@Mukeshotwani Thanks 👍

[@spidyniks]

I can see driver. Findelement(by. I'd()) But how can we make it more generic such that it is applicable for other locators too.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Nikhil if you want generic method then go with explicit wait with different condition.

[@archanatiwari7574]

Hi Mukesh, I am not able to understand as what is this polling time period?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Archana polling period is like how frequently webdriver will check application or web element. Even if you dont mention it will take default polling time.

Hello sir, nice video when using fluent wait via import through ..google.base.. it says expected Function from java.util....when using java.util import...it runs fine locally on eclipse but through ant build it is throwing fluent wait function not found exception. I am using selenium-java-3.8.1 along with guava 23

[@pramodkumarmohapatra9152]

Try importing import java.util.function.Function; In case it works.

[@kaurprabhleen89]

I have a link in my application which gets enabled after 60 seconds. I have to verify this scenario , that the link only gets enabled after 60 seconds not before that. Can we use selenium wait here ?

[@nimaleshdroid4388]

i think you can use explicit wait for that.

Sir how to get all code for fluent wait by just typing Flu it's not giving the code, I have recently started learning seleniumin so please reply

[@pramodkumarmohapatra9152]

I guess there is a new syntax for fluent wait using Duration as shown below(TimeUnit related syntax has been deprecated as mentioned on Selenium Api docs) : Wait w = new FluentWait(driver) .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30)) .pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(2)) .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class); WebElement foo = w.until(new Function() { public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) { return driver.findElement(By.id("foo")); } }); Kindly create a new video on the above. Also I noticed that both the below interfaces are working as both contain an apply method: import com.google.common.base.Function; import java.util.function.Function; (since 1.8)

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes Pramod, agreed need to make videos for new versions.
