FluentWait synchronizes a Selenium test with an asynchronous page by repeatedly evaluating a condition until it succeeds or the timeout expires. It lets the test define a maximum wait, polling interval, and selected exceptions to ignore. section 10.2.15
Waiting for a success notification
A login test can poll for a success toast, ignore NoSuchElementException while it is absent, and continue when its text contains an expected email domain. This handles a notification that fades in after login rather than checking too early. section 10.2.15
Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<>(driver)
.withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30)) #1
.pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(1)) #2
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class); #3
The configuration shows a 30-second timeout, one-second polling interval, and ignored missing-element exceptions. section 10.2.15
Use FluentWait when a predefined condition is not specific enough; the condition can locate an element and inspect its text before allowing the test to proceed. section 10.2.15
