Interface WebDriver.Timeouts

Enclosing interface:

WebDriver

public static interface WebDriver.Timeouts

An interface for managing timeout behavior for WebDriver instances.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
WebDriver.Timeouts	implicitlyWait(long time, TimeUnit unit) Specifies the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for an element if it is not immediately present.
WebDriver.Timeouts	pageLoadTimeout(long time, TimeUnit unit) Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error.
WebDriver.Timeouts	setScriptTimeout(long time, TimeUnit unit) Sets the amount of time to wait for an asynchronous script to finish execution before throwing an error.

Method Detail

implicitlyWait

WebDriver.Timeouts implicitlyWait(long time,
                                  TimeUnit unit)

Specifies the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for an element if it is not immediately present.

When searching for a single element, the driver should poll the page until the element has been found, or this timeout expires before throwing a NoSuchElementException. When searching for multiple elements, the driver should poll the page until at least one element has been found or this timeout has expired.

Increasing the implicit wait timeout should be used judiciously as it will have an adverse effect on test run time, especially when used with slower location strategies like XPath.

Parameters:

time - The amount of time to wait.

unit - The unit of measure for time.

Returns:

A self reference.

setScriptTimeout

WebDriver.Timeouts setScriptTimeout(long time,
                                    TimeUnit unit)

Sets the amount of time to wait for an asynchronous script to finish execution before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, then the script will be allowed to run indefinitely.

Parameters:

time - The timeout value.

unit - The unit of time.

Returns:

A self reference.

pageLoadTimeout

WebDriver.Timeouts pageLoadTimeout(long time,
                                   TimeUnit unit)

Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, page loads can be indefinite.

Parameters:

time - The timeout value.

unit - The unit of time.

Returns:

A Timeouts interface.
