The selenium web driver seems to be indicating that OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.ExpectedConditions method is now deprecated, I would humbly ask for some assistance in rewriting the below statement, achieving the same outcome. 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));  
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.Id(newNoteInputArea)));

I recently replaced all our Wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeVisible(By.IDK(element)) to

Wait.Until(driver => driver.FindElement(By.IDK(element)).IsVisible());

  • Thanks Doug, I will check whether the InvisibilityOfElementLocated method is available using your suggestion.

  • You wont be able to use "InvisibilityOfElementLocated" as it is a method within ExpectedConditions, instead use selenium IWebElement.isVisible() and negate it. !IWebElement.isVisible()

They have moved the ExpectedConditions to another package that won't be maintained (unless someone steps forward).

The easiest (and cleanest) solution is to simply create a class in your framework where you can copy any ExpectedConditions you want to use. Even better, you can add your own as well.

So start from the actual class code (https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/dotnet/src/support/UI/ExpectedConditions.cs) and rename the class to MyConditions, for example.

Usage would be:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));  
wait.Until(MyConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.Id(newNoteInputArea)));

  • Thanks for your feedback @FDM, this does make sense, I just wonder did the Selenium team not create something better / a new method that supersedes ExpectedConditions class?
