[FIXED] C# Selenium 'ExpectedConditions is obsolete'

Issue

When trying to explicitly wait for an element to become visible using ExpectedConditions, Visual Studio warns me that it is now obsolete and will be removed from Selenium soon.

What is the current/new method to achieve the same result?

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30));
var element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("content-section")));

Solution

How to resolve this with the latest version of Selenium.

Using NuGet, search for DotNetSeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers, and import that namespace into your class. Now you can do this:

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30));
var element = wait.Until(SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("content-section")));

And the warning in the IDE will be gone.
