Explicit Wait for PageFactory @Findby

I have a wait command in Java using a css locator and then click on it.

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("button.md-primary.md-raised.md-button.md-default-theme"))).click();

Now I turned this locator into a pagefactory object which is lp.btnSignIn()

what would be the correct way for this explicit wait and then push? Can I use expected conditions?

This is my PageFactory code:

@FindBy(css="button.md-primary.md-raised.md-button.md-default-theme")
WebElement btnSignIn;

public WebElement btnSignIn() {
    return btnSignIn;
}

Solved by changing the value to VisibilityOf:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(lp.btnSignIn())).click();


Be careful as this checks if the element is visible, which it may not be, but it is still in the DOM.

It just depends on the lp.btnSignIn () method you return.

Quoting from selenium documentation here

public static ExpectedCondition<WebElement> presenceOfElementLocated(By locator)

Waiting to check that the element is present in the page DOM. This does not necessarily mean that the element is visible.

Parameters:

locator - used to find an element



Return:   WebElement after finding it

Hence you can use lp.btnSignIn () only if it returns css locator instead of WebElement

Hence, your btnSignIn () method will be something like this:

public static Locater btnSignIn() {
    return By.cssSelector("button.md-primary.md-raised.md-button.md-default-theme");
}

And now you can use expected conditions like below:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(lp.btnSignIn())).click()`;
