[FIXED] Explicit Wait for findElements in Selenium Webdriver

Issue

After login, the page is redirecting to one page (I want to wait for page load), where I am finding elements by tagName,

By inputArea = By.tagName("input");
 List <WebElement> myIput = driver.findElements(inputArea);

Here I want to give Explicit Wait for findElements, I want to wait for its all its visibility or presence. There are only two inputs in my web page. If I give Implicit Wait for a long time, the code will work. But it varies. So i decided to give Explicit Wait, How can i give explicit Wait for findElements?. Or How Can I check the Visibility of the second one from the List(List myIput). ie, myIput.get(1). When I give visibilityOfAllElements() like below it throws error.

WebDriverWait waitForFormLabel = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);      
By inputArea = By.tagName("input");
List <WebElement> myIput = driver.findElements(inputArea);
waitForFormLabel.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(myIput));
myIput.get(1).sendKeys("Test");

Here is the list of code I am using in my automation program.

package mapap;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import lib.ReadExcellData;
import lib.WriteExcellData;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.ExtentReports;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.ExtentTest;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.LogStatus;

public class EditForm {
    public static WebDriver driver;
    static String excelName         = "D:\\xlsx\\map2.xlsx";
    ReadExcellData readData         = new ReadExcellData(excelName);
    WriteExcellData writeData       = new WriteExcellData(excelName); 
    String baseUrl                   = readData.getExcellData("base", 0, 0);    
    By colRadio;
    ExtentReports  report;
    ExtentTest logger;

    @BeforeClass
    public void browserOpen() throws Exception{

        report = new ExtentReports("D:\\driver\\extentRepo\\Edit Map Forms.html", true);
        logger = report.startTest("Map Forms Automation Testing", "Adding Forms");

        driver = new FirefoxDriver();       
        driver.get(baseUrl);
        String username = readData.getExcellData("user", 1, 0);
        String password = readData.getExcellData("user", 1, 1); 
        WebDriverWait waitForUserName = new WebDriverWait(driver, 250);
        By usernameField = By.name("username");
        waitForUserName.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(usernameField)).sendKeys(username);
        driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys(password);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@src,'/images/signin.png')]")).click();

    }

    @Test(priority = 1)
    public void addingForm() throws Exception{      
            driver.navigate().to(baseUrl+"/anglr/form-builder/dist/#/forms");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();       
        WebDriverWait waitForFormLabel = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);      
        By inputArea = By.tagName("input");
        List <WebElement> myIput = driver.findElements(inputArea);
        waitForFormLabel.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(myIput));
        myIput.get(1).sendKeys("Test");


    }

}

Please note: if i gave Thread.sleep for a long time after the code "driver.navigate().to(baseUrl+"/anglr/form-builder/dist/#/forms");", I will get all WebElements. But I want to avoid this, I want to just wait for WebElements to load ().

Anyone Please help.

Solution

You can do something like this:

//explicit wait for input field field
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.tagName("input")));

ExpectedConditions class can be useful in a lot of cases and provides some set of predefined condition to wait for the element. Here are some of them:

• alertIsPresent : Alert is present
• elementSelectionStateToBe: an element state is selection.
• elementToBeClickable: an element is present and clickable.
• elementToBeSelected: element is selected
• frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt: frame is available and frame selected.
• invisibilityOfElementLocated: an element is invisible
• presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy: present element located by.
• textToBePresentInElement: text present on particular an element
• textToBePresentInElementValue: and element value present for a particular element.
• visibilityOf: an element visible.
• titleContains: title contains
