Implicit Wait vs Explicit Wait
The difference between implicit wait and explicit wait in Selenium are as follows:
Implicit Wait | Explicit Wait |
The implicit wait is a global wait that applies to all elements. It is applied to the driver instance. driver.implicitly_wait(15) | Explicit wait is local wait and is applied to a specific element based on condition.
WebDriverWait() |
The implicit wait is general and offers less control. | Explicit wait allows more finer control of the wait. |
The implicit wait throws NoSuchElementException if the element is not found after the wait. | The explicit wait will proceed with the next code after the wait. |
