What are wait conditions in Appium?

Wait conditions in Appium are used to pause the execution of tests until a certain condition is met, ensuring elements are ready for interaction.

Can you explain the different types of wait conditions?

Sure! The main types are implicit waits, explicit waits, and fluent waits. Each serves a different purpose in handling synchronization.

How do I implement explicit waits in my test script?

To implement explicit waits, you can use the WebDriverWait class along with ExpectedConditions to wait for specific conditions.

Can you provide a code example for explicit waits?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

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

This waits up to 10 seconds for the element to be visible.

What happens if the wait condition is not met?

If the wait condition is not met within the specified time, a TimeoutException is thrown, indicating that the element was not found or not in the expected state.
