Exploring Explicit Wait in Selenium Python

⏱️ Explicit wait in Selenium Python helps handle synchronization issues and delays in web element loading.

⭐ Hard coding sleep times is not recommended in an actual framework, so Selenium's explicit wait is a better approach.

🔧 Using explicit wait in Selenium Python improves script efficiency and ensures smoother execution.

⏰ Explicit wait is used in Selenium Python to ensure synchronization with the application.

❌ Removing hard-coded sleeps can cause synchronization issues in the script execution.

🕒 Web elements may take time to load, and explicit wait helps in checking their existence before interacting with them.

📝 Explicit wait in Selenium Python allows us to set a maximum time to wait for a web element to appear.

⏰ By implementing explicit wait, the script will not keep waiting for the full time if the web element becomes available earlier.

🔍 To use explicit wait, we need to import the 'webdriver wait' class and specify the duration to wait in seconds.

🔍 Expected conditions are used to check various attributes or states of a web element.

⏰ Explicit wait in Selenium Python requires importing the 'expected conditions' class.

🖱️ To ensure a web element is clickable, the 'element to be clickable' expected condition is used.

⚙️ Explicit wait is used to wait for specific web elements on a page.

🔍 Explicit wait is not applicable to all web elements and should only be used when necessary.

📌 Implementing explicit wait can help fix issues with web element selection and improve script execution.

🔎 Implementing explicit wait to check if a web element is clickable before finding and storing elements related to it.

✨ Using the webdriverweight class to specify the wait time and dynamically wait until the element is clickable.

📅 Successfully selecting the departure date using explicit wait.

🤖 To implement explicit wait in Selenium Python, create an object of the driver weight and use the 'until' method with expected conditions.

⏳ There are different expected conditions that can be used, such as presence of element and element clickable, depending on the scenario.

💻 Practicing on real websites like yatra.com will give you more confidence in implementing explicit wait in real projects.
