selenium fluent wait condition

Fluent Wait: Let’s say you have an element which sometime appears in just 1 second and some time it takes minutes to appear. In that case it is better to use fluent wait, as this will try to find element again and again until it find it or until the final timer runs out.



import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.FluentWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Wait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

import com.google.common.base.Function;



public WebElement fluentWait(final By locator) {
   Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
           .withTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
           .pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
           .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

   WebElement element = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
       public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
           return driver.findElement(locator);
       }
   });

   return  element;
};
