help me to detect page with wait.until

[Yevgen Ko]

I am a newbie and just learning Selenium.
On the orbitz.com after clicking "Search" button another page is loaded. To identify that page I use html body id:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(wd, 60);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("resultsTwoColumn")));
But after page loaded my program never detects new page.
Appreciate for any help.

Please try the below query.

                WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://orbitz.com");

                 //Maximize the window

driver.manage().window().maximize();

//wait for 10 sec

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//Input on Where textbox

driver.findElement(By.name("hotel.keyword.key")).sendKeys("London, United Kingdom");

//clicking on Search button

driver.findElement(By.name("search")).click();

//wait for 20 sec

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

//Input on HotelName in the new page

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='rail']/div[3]/div/div[2]/div/form/div/div/fieldset/label/input")).sendKeys("Charlotte");

System.out.println("End");

unless you work for orbitz I would suggest you get their permission before writing automation on their site.

Thanks, Vishnu!
I guess

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

works the same way as

Thread.sleep(20000);

but is there any way to make

 wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("resultsTwoColumn")));

to work or is it not good idea?

I was under the impression driver.goto always waited for the page to load before doing the next action.

Could someone verify this?

Hi Yevgen,

implicit wait and thread.sleep are not same.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS); --- Maximum wait is 20 sec if element found before 20 sec, it will proceed further. Most appreciate method and browsers maximum load will be 30 sec. You can keep 30 sec maxi for your project.

Thread.sleep(20000); --- It will wait for 20 sec even if the element is present before that or element is not present. fixed timings.

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("resultsTwoColumn"))); --- I have no idea about this.

        WebDriver wd = new FirefoxDriver();
        wd.get("http://www.orbitz.com");
        wd.findElement(By.name("search")).click();

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(wd, 60);

        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("resultsTwoColumn"))); //check every 60 seconds till id=resultsTwoColumn is available.
