  Edit this Doc Set Implicit Wait Timeout

Set the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for elements

Example Usage

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

self.driver.implicitly_wait(5) # waits 5 seconds

// webdriver.io example
driver.setImplicitTimeout(5000)

// wd example
await driver.setImplicitWaitTimeout(5000);

# ruby_lib example
manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 5 # Ruby translates it to seconds

# ruby_lib_core example
@driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 5 # Ruby translates it to seconds

driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);

Description

When searching for a single element, the driver should poll the page until an element is found or the timeout expires, whichever occurs first. When searching for multiple elements, the driver should poll the page until at least one element is found or the timeout expires, at which point it should return an empty list.

If this command is never sent, the driver should default to an implicit wait of 0ms
