Explicit Wait The explicit wait is used to tell the Web Driver to wait for certain conditions (Expected Conditions) or the maximum time exceeded before throwing an "ElementNotVisibleException" exception.
For Python, you will have to implement Selenium Wait for page to load in order to ensure that tests are performed with the necessary WebElements in the DOM. Certain websites have some components or elements hidden, or not visible at an initial stage.
In automation testing, wait commands direct test execution to pause for a certain length of time before moving onto the next step. This enables WebDriver to check if one or more web elements are present/visible/enriched/clickable, etc.
You can also check pageloaded using following code
IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.00));
wait.Until(driver1 => ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));
Use class WebDriverWait

You can expect to show some element. something like in C#:
WebDriver _driver = new WebDriver();
WebDriverWait _wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0));
_wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("Id_Your_UIElement"));
If you set the implicit wait of the driver, then call the findElement
method on an element you expect to be on the loaded page, the WebDriver will poll for that element until it finds the element or reaches the time out value.
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

In general, with Selenium 2.0 the web driver should only return control to the calling code once it has determined that the page has loaded. If it does not, you can call waitforelemement
, which cycles round calling findelement
until it is found or times out (time out can be set).
