WebDriverWait Constructor Arguments

[Debanjan Bhattacharjee]

Hello All,

As per the documentation, the `WebDriverWait` API is defined as 

public WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, long timeOutInSeconds)

Even Eclipse IDE shows the same as follows:

org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait.WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, long timeOutInSeconds)

A small test on the Java Primitive Data Type is as follows:

public class Min_Max_Primitive_Data_Types 

{

public static void main(String[] args) 

{

    System.out.println("Integer.MIN = " + Integer.MIN_VALUE);

    System.out.println("Integer.MAX = " + Integer.MAX_VALUE);

    System.out.println("Long.MIN = " + Long.MIN_VALUE);

    System.out.println("Long.MAX = " + Long.MAX_VALUE);

}

}

The output reveals:

Integer.MIN = -2147483648

Integer.MAX = 2147483647

Long.MIN = -9223372036854775808

Long.MAX = 9223372036854775807

Now configuring :

WebDriverWait wait2 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 9223372036854775807);

Eclipse IDE showing error as :

The literal 9223372036854775807 of type int is out of range

Where am I wrong?

Any suggestion and pointers will be helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Dev

When you type a number in Java it will default to being an int. If you want Java to know you REALLY did mean a long you have to add a L at the end. Therefore you need 9223372036854775807L.

Thanks a lot, @darrell. Your suggestion worked like a charm.
