Any built-in way for branching waits with OR conditions?-CodePudding

After I click a button on a webpage, one of two things can happen. Normally, I would use a wait until when there's a single event outcome, but is there any built in methodology where I can wait until 1 of two things happens i.e. one of two elements exists?

CodePudding user response：

To wait until either of two elements you can induce WebDriverWait for either of the two elements through the OR option and you can use either of the following approaches:

Using CssSelector you can pass the expressions seperated by comma as follows:

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".classA, .classB"))

Using CssSelector and lambda you can pass the expressions through OR condition as follows:

element = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "tagname.classname") or driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "tagname#elementID"))

Using _XPath_you can pass the expressions through OR condition as follows:

element = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//tag_name[@class='elementA' or @id='elementB']"))

Using XPath and lambda you can pass the expressions through OR condition as follows:

element = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(lambda driver: driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"xpathA") or driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"xpathB"))

you can do it tbh this is in java i dont know about python but this is at least an idea if you have two condition to be met for example input 1 to be present and input 2 I would create two boolean variabels that i will put in them driver.findelements(by....).size()>0; then i will just add an if so in case not both of them show it will crash or do what ever i want. Code example:

    Boolean AccesViaLogin = driver.findElements(By.id("username_login")).size() > 0;
    Boolean AccesViaHomepage = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),\"Connexion\")]")).size() > 0;
    if (AccesViaLogin == true && AccesViaHomepage == true) {
}
