How to pause for few seconds in Selenium

Question

I want to wait for something to load and then take it's screenshot and save it.

Below is the code:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
try {
    File scr = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
    FileUtils.copyFile(scr,new File("/Desktop/image.png"));
} catch (Exception e) { 
       e.printStackTrace(); 
}
driver.close();

The page is not waiting for me, is there any method to get the driver/page to wait for few seconds?

Answer 1

you can locate an element that loads after the initial page loads and then makes Selenium wait till it finds that element, as shown below:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("id")));
