Is there a difference between:
self.driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
OR
self.driver.implicitly_wait(10) # seconds
Why does this 15 value explicit wait not over-ride the 10 seconds? Or is it the case once implicit is specified, it ignores the explicit?
btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(
lambda wd: wd.find_element_by_css_selector('someCSS') )
Any advice?
From: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html#implicit-waits
An implicit wait tells WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain amount of time when trying to find any element (or elements) not immediately available.
This syntax should be used for python:
self.driver.implicitly_wait(10) # seconds
Implicitly wait behavior is a very low level so it will affect other operations, like explicit waits.
This will work 100 seconds if no such element:
self.driver.implicitly_wait(100) # seconds
btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
lambda wd: wd.find_element_by_css_selector('someCSS') )
This will work 20 seconds if no such element (need to recheck):
self.driver.implicitly_wait(10) # seconds
btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 11).until(
lambda wd: wd.find_element_by_css_selector('someCSS') )
This will work 15 seconds if no such element:
self.driver.implicitly_wait(5) # seconds
btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(
lambda wd: wd.find_element_by_css_selector('someCSS') )
