Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers. Explicit waits in Selenium are used to halt the execution of a script until a certain condition is met. This is different from implicit waits, which wait for a certain amount of time before executing the next command.
Explicit waits are more efficient and flexible as they allow you to wait for specific conditions to be true before proceeding with the next steps in your automation script.
In this tutorial, we will focus on how to use explicit waits in Selenium with Python. We'll use the WebDriverWait class along with Expected Conditions to wait for elements to be clickable, visible, or have a specific attribute before performing an action.
Make sure you have the following installed:
Let's create a simple Python script that uses explicit waits to interact with a web page. In this example, we'll automate the process of logging into a website.
Explicit waits in Selenium provide a more controlled and efficient way to handle synchronization issues when automating web interactions. By waiting for specific conditions to be true, you can create more robust and reliable automation scripts. Customize the example provided based on your specific use case and website structure.
