Timeouts

ITimeouts is an interface in selenium, which is implemented by webdriver.

It is an interface used to define timeouts.

// Manage() method of IWebDriver, returns the IOptions interface
IOptions Options = Driver.Manage();
// Timeouts() method of IOption, returns the ITimeouts interface
ITimeouts Timeouts = Options.Timeouts();

Mostly we use this interface by method chaining only. !! Not like above !!

This interface provides three timeout proerties as below,

1. ImplicitWait

• It is used to tell the web driver to wait for certain time before throwing NoSuchElementException.
• Gets or sets the implicit wait timeout, which is the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for an element if it is not immediately present

    // To set
    Driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
    // To get
    TimeSpan ImpWait = Driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait;

2. PageLoad

• The amount of time the driver should wait for a page to load when setting the Driver.Url property.

    // To set
    Driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100);
    // To get
    TimeSpan PgLoad= Driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad;

3. AsynchronousJavaScript

• The amount of time the driver should wait when executing JavaScript asynchronously.
• This timeout only affects IJavaScriptExecutor.ExecuteAsyncScript() method.

    // To set
    Driver.Manage().Timeouts().AsynchronousJavaScript= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
    // To get
    TimeSpan AsyncWait= Driver.Manage().Timeouts().AsynchronousJavaScript;

Properites

PROPERTY	GET	SET
ImplicitWait	TimeSpan ImpWait = Driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait;	Driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
PageLoad	TimeSpan PgLoad= Driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad;	Driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100);
AsynchronousJavaScript	TimeSpan AsyncWait= Driver.Manage().Timeouts().AsynchronousJavaScript;	Driver.Manage().Timeouts().AsynchronousJavaScript= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);

Note : TimeSpan is a struct from System namespace. It is used to define time durations.
