Can't change implicit wait timeout

[Tb0]

Hello,
I'm trying to change the implicit timeout from 30sec to 10sec.
Changing this $driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30 into $driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 10 from env.rb file doesn't work.

Everytime a step is failing, it takes 30 seconds to the test to fail :
timed out after 30 seconds (no such element: Unable to locate element:
It should be 10.

Can you help me @sameer49 ?

[sameer49]

you can use progress steps.

Then I wait (\d+) seconds for element having id "(.?)" to display
Then I wait (\d+) seconds for element having name "(.?)" to display
Then I wait (\d+) seconds for element having class "(.?)" to display
Then I wait (\d+) seconds for element having xpath "(.?)" to display
Then I wait (\d+) seconds for element having css "(.*?)" to display

Hello @sameer49,
I don't want explicit wait as you are suggesting.
I want to use implicit wait, but as mentionned in my previous post, changing the value from env.rb doesn't work.

Maybe @Carlbc18 can help ?

@Tb0 I believe you're probably running into the issue where explicit and implicit waits are used within the repo. Depending on the step you are using that step 'might' still be using the explicit WAIT object. Which step are you have problem with?

[sameer49]

@Tb0 make sure you put this line at end of env.rb
$driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 5

working fine for me

What is file - env.rb and where is it located?

[sameer49]

@vladimir-grishau this is kind of entry point for cucumber contains initializing code in this case it initialize driver object with appropriate web-driver.
its located under your_project/features/support/env.rb

[vladimir-grishau]

Do you mean into this file?

How will I understand that this wait is working correctly?
And last question: do you use the implicit wait and explicit in one project or only implicit?

Thanks for answers!

[sameer49]

implicit_wait is initialized after webdriver initialization.
when you mention implicit_wait by default it will wait for every element for maximum time mention in implicit_wait until that element found.

explicit_wait is used when you explicitly want to wait for particular element for some conditions

[vladimir-grishau]

On my previous projects on the Java I implemented an implicit wait.
On the Ruby - I am going to do it, because in our project we are using only an explicit wait.
Do you use both of the wait in your projects?

[sameer49]

yes you can use both

[vladimir-grishau]

I will try it. Thank you!
