winappdriver - webdriver wait for WPF element

[xkasjan77]

Hi,

I've created simple methods for locating elements in WPF application. I simply used WebDriverWait which looks like this

try: wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, element))) except Exception as error: print(error)

The main problem is that when I set time for example 60 seconds and my control show up, script is still looking up for it. Is that normal behaviour of this function? It's pretty same functionality as Time.Sleep(30)

Is there a better usage of wait class for desktop applications?

Eventually our code converged to the following:

bool WaitFoSomething(funct<bool> check,int timeout)
{
//while loop to check
}

//usage
Assert.IsTrue(WaitForSomething(EC.FindElementsByAccessibilityId("").Any(),5000), "not there is bad");
