How to create Custom wait library for handling synchronization in Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Hi Sushmita, to solve Synchronization issue in Selenium Webdriver, you can create Custom Wait library in the following manner:

public class Utility
{

public static WebElement isElementPresnt(WebDriver driver,String xpath,int time)
{

WebElement element = null;
for(int i=0;i<time;i++)
{
try{
element=driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath));
break;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e1)
{
System.out.println("Waiting for element to appear on DOM");
}
}
}
return element;
}
}

Now you can use above method in your test scripts:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import Library.Utility;

public class SearchBus
{

@Test
public void checkBuses()
{
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get("https://www.redbus.in/");

Utility.isElementPresnt(driver,".//*[@id='txtSource']", 20).sendKeys("Bangalore");

Utility.isElementPresnt(driver,".//*[@id='txtDestination']", 20).sendKeys("Chennai");
}
}
