How to fix WebDriverWait deprecated message in Selenium tests?

Overview

In this tutorial, we will see how to fix the WebDriverWait deprecated warning message in Selenium tests. The constructor WebDriverWait(WebDriver, long) is deprecated now in the Selenium framework.

Deprecated Code

So the declaration of web driver wait of this form would appear strikes in the test automation code.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 120);

 

The long parameter 120 is the timeout specified in seconds. This makes the driver instance to wait

waiting until an expected condition is true or not null in the web tests.

 

 

Fix

To fix the warning message, we need to pass the timeout as a Duration class. In most cases Duration class models time in seconds and in nanoseconds.

To fix the selenium tests we should use:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(120, 1));
