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

We can achieve that like this:

public static IWebElement WaitForObject(IWebDriver DriverObj, By by, int TimeOut = 30)
{
    try
    {
        WebDriverWait Wait1 = new WebDriverWait(DriverObj, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(TimeOut));
        var WaitS = Wait1.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.PresenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(by));
        return WaitS[0];
    }
    catch (NoSuchElementException)
    {
        Reports.TestStep("Wait for Element(s) with xPath was failed in current context page.");
        throw;
    }
}
