What is Selenium Fluent Wait?

Can you explain what Selenium Fluent Wait is?

Selenium Fluent Wait is a type of wait in Selenium that allows you to define the maximum wait time and polling interval for checking the presence of an element.

How does it differ from implicit and explicit waits?

Unlike implicit waits, which apply globally, and explicit waits, which are specific to a single element, Fluent Wait allows for more flexibility by letting you set conditions and polling intervals.

Can you provide a code example of using Fluent Wait?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Java:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(2));
wait.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("myElement")));

What are some common use cases for Fluent Wait?

Common use cases include waiting for elements that may take time to appear, such as AJAX calls, or when dealing with dynamic content on a webpage.
