What does implicit wait perform?
Implicit is the default waiting time for each test step in our execution. Thus if we keep an implicit wait of ten seconds, each test step will wait for that amount of time for an action to take place and then move to the next step.
Implicit wait is a dynamic wait which means if the wait time is ten seconds and the web element on which the next action is to be taken is available at the fifth second, then control will immediately move to the next test step rather than waiting for the full ten seconds.
However if the element is not available till the tenth second, then it will throw an exception. Implicit wait is simple and uncomplicated to use but it some disadvantages like the following −
Slows down the test execution time.
Does not catch performance errors in the code.
Implicit waits are applied to all the elements involved in our test execution and is considered a global wait.
Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.util.List;
public class Implictwt {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
String url = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm";
driver.get(url);
//implicit wait with time in seconds applied to each elements
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(12, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//Using id tagname attribute combination for css expression
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name=’search’]")).
sendKeys("Selenium");
driver.close();
}
