What are Selenium Fluent Waits and how do I use them?

Selenium Fluent Waits are a type of wait that allows you to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding. They are more flexible than implicit or explicit waits.

Can you give me an example of how to implement Fluent Waits in my code?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Java:

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

This will wait up to 10 seconds for the element to be visible.

What conditions can I wait for using Fluent Waits?

You can wait for various conditions like visibility, presence, clickability of elements, or even custom conditions using lambdas.

Are there any drawbacks to using Fluent Waits?

Yes, if not used properly, they can lead to longer wait times and may complicate your test scripts. It's important to set appropriate timeout values.
