In some cases, i know element will not be displayed. but its waiting ~30 Secs.
How to decrease wait time for NoSuchElementException in selenium?
Sample code:
String name; try { name = driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPath")).getText(); } catch (NoSuchElementException e) { name = "Name not displayed"; }3 Answers
I think you're looking for setting the implitic wait time for your driver:
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
For simple cases thats ok to use, for more advanced automation, I'd change it to an explicit wait (using WebDriverWait).
More on waits:
Use WebDriverWait to decrease waiting time ex (wait 5 seconds):
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 5)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(name));We can use explicit wait for this scenario but have to be careful with the expected conditions being used.
WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(locator));Sometimes visibilityOf(Name) will not work since mostly finding of webelement name needs the findElement statement to be used.
WebElement name=driver.findElement(Locator);
This step may fail if element is not present!
