How to get webDriver to wait for page to load (C# Selenium project)

Question

I\'ve started a Selenium project in C#. Trying to wait for page to finish loading up and only afterwards proceed to next action.

My code looks like this:

<         


        

Answer 1

I usually use an explicit wait for this, and wait until an elements is visible, then proceed to the next action. This should look like this:

WebDriverWait waitForElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
waitForElement.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("yourIDHere")));
