Explicit wait Selenium Webdriver for element in hand

Question

I am using selenium webdriver over C# and I am using page object module. Now I need a syntax to use in explicit wait given that I already have the webelement in hand.

[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "Passwd")]
public IWebElement Password {get;set;}

[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "signIn")]
public IWebElement Signin { get; set; }

I need to wait until I find the Element Password.

Before using this module I was using :

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver.driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Time));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(by));

Now I need to use the Element in hand.

Answer 1

You should try using ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable which would accept IWebElement as well as input and would wait until element is visible and enable as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver.driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Time));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(Password));

Answer 2

Please check if this helps

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

wait.Until(driver => Password.Displayed);

Answer 3

Add an explicit wait and wait for Password.Displayed to be true:

[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "Passwd")]
public IWebElement Password {get;set;}

[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "signIn")]
public IWebElement Signin { get; set; }

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(Password.Displayed);

Full disclosure, I found the answer here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/webdriver/xdFsocNMSNc

Answer 4

The expected conditions methods take By as their argument and you want to use ElementIsVisible, i.e. the below should work:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("Passwd")));
