ExpectedConditions no longer works in Selenium – "does not exist in the current context" - Robotiq

Answered

Hi all,
I’m using Selenium WebDriver with C#, and I have the following code that used to work without issues:

try
{
IWebDriver driver = (IWebDriver)VR[“_selenium_driver_script_reference_chromeReference”];

WebDriverWait waitSearch = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120));

// Store the web element
IWebElement iframe = waitSearch.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id(“iFrameWFix”)));

// Switch to the frame
driver.SwitchTo().Frame(iframe);

VR[“elementPresent”] = true;
}
catch
{
VR[“elementPresent”] = false;
}

But now I’m getting this error:
Error in expression: The name ‘ExpectedConditions’ does not exist in the current context

Any help or updated guidance would be much appreciated — especially if you know a modern workaround for this.

Thanks!

Hi,

i found it as well
we need to switch to using a lambda-based wait instead of ExpectedConditions as it’s deprecated
As i’ve found it explained: “This is pure WebDriver and won’t ever get deprecated”

try
{
IWebDriver driver = (IWebDriver)VR[“_selenium_driver_script_reference_chromeReference”];

WebDriverWait waitSearch = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120));

//Store the web element

//OLD
//IWebElement iframe = waitSearch.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id(“iFrameWFix”)));

//INSTEAD
var iframe = waitSearch.Until(drv =>
{
var e = drv.FindElement(By.Id(“iFrameWFix”));
return e.Displayed ? e : null;
});

//Switch to the frame
driver.SwitchTo().Frame(iframe);

VR[“elementPresent”] = true;
}
catch
{
VR[“elementPresent”] = false;
}
