Implicit and Explicit Waits in Winium

[SotirisAnt]

Hello,

I have stumbled across the following issue: After having clicked on an element, I would like to wait for just 1 second. However, Winium is not waiting for a second neither using "Implicit wait" nor "Explicit wait". In the first case, an exception occurs, while in the second case, it waits for the default period of time (5 seconds) and then continues with the execution. Please see below the code I'm using and actual results

Implicit wait

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: 'setTimeout' is not valid or implemented command.

Explicit wait

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 1); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.name("someText")));

I faced the same issue. Use this fix for Implicit Wait.

Hello. Can you explain me how i can use it in my project&

What code used in program to resolve implicit wait issue

[yarafath8]

@ravindrabelavekar - I downloaded the Winium Driver source and added SetTimeoutExecutor.cs to the CS Project and used the new Winium driver in my automation project.

[ravindrabelavekar]

How to do this? Steps will be helpful. As per my knowledge last winium driver release I can see it's in 2016. After that there is no release, correct me If I am wrong

[mdz15]

I have the same issue, is there any fix ?

[eastdenchik1]

is there any fix for this problem? I have same error while using Winium and timeouts: winiumdriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

[eastdenchik1]

is there any fix for this problem? or this winium is already dead?

I faced the same issue. Anybody help for this point??? Thanks a lot

Hey everyone,

Late to the party, but maybe this might help someone out there...

I did this in Java, and it works for me. Shouldn't be too hard to translate to other languages.

    protected static void updateImplicitWaitMs(WiniumDriver driver, int waitMs) throws IOException {
        if (driver == null) { return; }
        WiniumDriverCommandExecutor commandExecutor = (WiniumDriverCommandExecutor) driver.getCommandExecutor();
        URL driverUrl = commandExecutor.getAddressOfRemoteServer();
        String timeoutUrl = driverUrl.toString() + "/session/AwesomeSession/timeouts/implicit_wait";
        String postBody = "{ \"SESSIONID\":\"AwesomeSession\", \"ms\":" + waitMs + " }";
        Request.Post(timeoutUrl).bodyByteArray(postBody.getBytes()).execute().returnContent();
    }

Essentially, instead of using standard WebDriver mechanism, I send a POST request to WiniumDriver:

{ "SESSIONID": "AwesomeSession", "ms": ... }

Seems to do the trick. Hope this helps.

Hello @mikeliucc How can I use your trick? and for the "Request.Post ..." which lib you are using (imported)? Thank you a lot!

[nguyenquangtay]

Yay, I did it, it works fine, thank @mikeliucc great trick! just replace the driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS) by updateImplicitWaitMs(driver, 5000) haha for the lib, I use import org.apache.http.client.fluent.Request and it works for me, regards!

Hello @mikeliucc How can I use your trick? and for the "Request.Post ..." which lib you are using (imported)? Thank you a lot!

I´ve used this lib:

	<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents/fluent-hc -->
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
	    <artifactId>fluent-hc</artifactId>
	    <version>4.5.13</version>
	</dependency>

[mikeliucc]

Yes, Request class is imported from Apache HttpClient Fluent API. Your maven snippet looks right to me.

Hello nguyenquangtay, I'm using the same, the code does not show any error but when running, implicit wait still not working. Are you still using this solution?

[nguyenquangtay]

hi @quynhbui267 Sorry for the late responses, I'm no longer with Winium anymore, the demo is over and miss the repo also, now on pywinauto , appium for desktop automation. Can't help you :(
