What are some examples of wait strategies in Appium?

In Appium, wait strategies are crucial for ensuring that your tests run smoothly. Common strategies include implicit waits, explicit waits, and fluent waits. Would you like to see examples of each?

Yes, please provide examples of explicit and fluent waits.

Sure! For explicit waits, you can use WebDriverWait like this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'myElement')))

For fluent waits, you can do something like this:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10, poll_frequency=1, ignored_exceptions=[NoSuchElementException])
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'myElement')))

Would you like more details on any of these?

What are the differences between these wait strategies?

The main difference is in their behavior: implicit waits apply to all elements and are set once, while explicit waits are specific to certain conditions and can be customized for each element. Fluent waits allow for polling at regular intervals and can ignore specific exceptions. This makes them more flexible. Do you need help with implementation?
