Selenium C# WebDriver: Wait until element is present

Question

I want to make sure that an element is present before the webdriver starts doing stuff.

I\'m trying to get something like this to work:

WebDriverWait w         


        

Answer 1

You do not want to wait too long before the element changes. In this code the webdriver waits for up to 2 seconds before it continues.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(2000));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.VisibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.Name("html-name")));
