ExpectedConditions cannot be resolved to a variable

Question

I am waiting for WebElement is clickable using below code:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,9);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(CancelListingButton));

But I see the error for using ExpectedConditions in eclipse as

ExpectedConditions cannot be resolved to a variable

I am using selenium 3.0 as maven project and included the import statement:

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

Is there any other dependency to use ExpectedConditions?

pom.xml dependencies included:

<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.8.1</version>

    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
<version>2.0a7</version>    

Mainly the issue is even after including the import statement:

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;  

I still cannot use ExpectedConditions anywhere in my code as it gives me error to create a class ExpectedConditions and it cannot be resolved to variable.

Answer 1

The issue arises from wrong version of selenium-support, defined in pom.xml.

Just wanted to point out that selenium-java already contains a reference to selenium-support, thus no separate dependency declaration is needed for selenium-support as the correct version will be used by Maven automatically.

Answer 2

As now a days most of the most of the software testing companies are using Maven for the execution of the selenium frameworks. We need to take care of the dependencies that we are using along with their versions. The issue can be resolved by simply updating the pom file. Instead of using

org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.0.1 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-support 2.0a7

You can update to the pretty latest version.

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.1</version>
    </dependency>

Now right click on your Project. Maven>Update Project issue is resolved.

Answer 3

(CancelListingButton)); 

Should be a variable. You should make it as:

String CancelListingButton = "xpath of your element";
