WebDriver customer wait in Selenium C#

This is the below custom wait function which makes the driver to wait for some seconds to find the element

The below code

  • Waits for 10 seconds by Default
  • Can be made custom also

 

      public static IWebElement FindElement(this IWebDriver driver, By by, int timeoutInSeconds)
        {
            if (timeoutInSeconds > 0)
            {
                var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeoutInSeconds));
                return wait.Until(drv => drv.FindElement(by));
            }
            else
            {
                var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
                return wait.Until(drv => drv.FindElement(by));
            }
        
        }

 

Usage:

WebDriver.FindElement(By.id(“Element”),WaitTime)

 

Where the wait time is seconds and the WebDriver will wait for WaitTime before throwing up and element not found error
