What are some examples of using waits in Selenium?

In Selenium, waits are used to pause the execution until a certain condition is met. There are two main types: implicit and explicit waits.

Can you give me an example of an explicit wait?

Sure! Here's an example:

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

# Wait for an element to be clickable
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'myElementId')))

What about implicit waits?

Implicit waits are set for the entire duration of the WebDriver session. Here's how you can set it:

driver.implicitly_wait(10)  # seconds

Are there any best practices for using waits?

Yes! It's best to use explicit waits for specific conditions and avoid using implicit waits together with explicit waits to prevent unexpected behavior.
