Is there a way to wait to use wait until condition for two elements using Or condition

[Pavithra]

I am trying to verify my signin is successful - for this, I am using waituntilvisible (elementlocatedby locator) condition.

Code:
WebElement inboxVisibility = new WebDriverWait(driver, 300).until(ExpectedConditions
                .visibilityOfElementLocated(driver.findElement(By.id("value")));

Depending upon the state of application, above element changes. Basically both elements are present in dom structure but visiblity appears based on the state.
So I wanted to wait for either X or Y element to be visible.
How can I achieve this?

Language: JAVA

Thanks,
Pavithra

You'd have to write a loop with a time delay and test separately for the existence of either method as a means of indicating that your loop should end.

I don't think there is an ExpectedConditons method that will test for either of two elements being present.

Why can't you use the same code but instead ID you xpath to locate element based on the text of the element.

Pavithra,

Why not define your own ExpectedCondition implementation for this ?

public class MyCondition implements ExpectedCondition<Boolean>{

  private By locator1, locator2;

  public MyCondition(By locator1, By locator2){

 this.locator1 = locator1;

 this.locator2 = locator2;

  }

@Override

public Boolean apply(WebDriver input) {

return input.findElement(this.locator1).isDisplayed() || input.findElement(this.locator2).isDisplayed();

}  

}

Once you have such a class you can very well do :

By foo1 = By.name("name1");

By foo2 = By.id("id2");

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(new MyCondition(foo1, foo2));

Would that help ?

Thanks & Regards

Thanks guys for the clue!!

I implemented below way based on above clue and it is working fine.

public static WebElement displayElement(WebDriver driver) throws Exception {
        if (driver.findElement(By.locator_x).isDisplayed()) {
            return driver.findElement(By.locator_x);
        } else if (driver.findElement(By.locator_y).isDisplayed()) {
            return driver.findElement(By.locator_y);
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

WebElement checkElement = displayElement(driver);
        if (checkElement != null ) {
            WebElement inboxVisibility = new WebDriverWait(driver, 300).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(checkElement));
            MainTest.logger.info("Sign in succeeded");
        } else {
            Assert.fail("Signin not succeeded or application not loaded completely");
        }

Thanks
