How to make Selenium wait until an event occurs, or until a variable takes a value-CodePudding

i use selenium to complete the form in a part of the form, I have two text boxes that I complete with the codes below

username='something'         #In the initial state, they do not have a value
password=something               #In the initial state, they do not have a value

input_username=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,value="//input[@id='username_txt']")
input_username.click()
input_username.send_keys(username)



input_password=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,value="//input[@id='password_txt']")
input_password.click()
input_password.send_keys(password)

How can I make Selenium wait for the values of username and pass (to be generated through another function) I don't know how to generate username and pass How long does it take

In other words, I want to tell Selenium, whenever the value for two variables comes, enter them into the text boxes and wait until then and don't close the browser.

CodePudding user response：

You just need to put the method(s) generating the username and the password before sending the text into the input elements. Something like the following:

username = generate_username()
password = generate_password()
# generate_username() and generate_password() are methods you need to implement

input_username=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,value="//input[@id='username_txt']")
input_username.click()
input_username.send_keys(username)



input_password=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,value="//input[@id='password_txt']")
input_password.click()
input_password.send_keys(password)

We can also help with implementing the generate_username() and generate_password() methods if you can provide the requirements for their outputs.
