I use the following, its a fairly understandable explanation.
private static WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);
private static JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
public static void waitForPageLoaded() {
wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
Boolean res = (js.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete"));
System.out.println("[DEBUG] waitForPageLoaded: " + res);
return res;
}
});
}
EDIT: This will return true when the page is in a ready state, i.e. page loaded. Therefore, you must call the above method before looking for your element.
