HI I was trying to pause the execution of Selenium for seconds to wait for Modal popup to show.
But time.sleep(5) didn't work using phantomJS (I've heard that PhantomJS do not support sleep).
So I came up setTimeout.
driver.execute_script('setTimeout(function(){"scroll(0, 300);"}, 3600);')
But It doesn't work even in the Chrome Selenium driver.
Even though driver.execute_script('scroll(0, 300);') works, I don't know how to execute setTimeout in the selenium.
If you need to meet some specific condition, you might use ExplicitWait + ExpectedConditions, like:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
wait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "Specify css selector for your modal div")))
driver.execute_script('scroll(0, 300);')
*You can use any selector you like as By.XPATH, By.ID, etc
This code should allow you to wait (up to 10 seconds) until visibility of required element before executing script
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//*[@id=\"teacher_booked_modal\"]/div/div/div")))
import timeand settime.sleep(3.6)beforedriver.execute_script('scroll(0, 300);')?driver.set_page_load_timeout(10),driver.set_script_timeout(3)and `driver.implicitly_wait(10)'. But It didn't work.
