Implicit: search for one or more elements in the DOM if not available for the quantity of time assign Explicit: uses specified waiting conditions and continues until they are met
| Expected conditionals | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| element_to_be_clickable | waits for the item to be visible and enabled to click on it | WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "accept_button"))) |
| element_to_be_selected | waits for the item to be selected | subscription = self.driver.find_element_by_name("terms").WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_selected((terms))) |
| invisibility_of_element_located | waits for the item don't be visible o not be in the DOM | WebDriverWait(self.driver,10).until(expected_conditions.invisibility_of_element_located((By.ID,“loading_banner”))) |
| presence_of_all_element_located | waits for almost one of the elements indicated match with the elements presented in the website | WebDriverWait(self.driver,10).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME,“input-text”))) |
| presence_of_element_located | waits for the item be visible and be present in the DOM | WebDriverWait(self.driver,10).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located((By.ID,“search-bar”))) |
| text_to_be_present_in_element | waits for the item with the indicated text to be present | WebDriverWait(self.driver,10).until(expected_conditions.text_to_be_present_in_element((By.ID,“seleorder”),“high”)) |
| title_contains | waits for the page contain exactly the title as the indicated | WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.title_contains(“Welcome”)) |
| title_is | waits for the page contains identic the title as the indicated | WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.title_is(“Welcome”)) |
| visibility_of | waits for the indicated item is in the DOM, is visible, is height and width are greater than zero | |
| visibility_of_element_located | waits for the item indicated by the selector to be in the DOM, be visible and its height and width are greater than zero | WebDriverWait(self.driver,10).until(expected_conditions.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,“firstname”))) |
Form to make a report of the test
- Test fixture: preparation of before and after of the test
- Test case: unit of code to test
- Test suite: test case collections in one file to execute all test sequentially
- Test runner: give order of the execution
- Test report: report of the test
