How to wait until element is present, visible and interactable with Python Selenium?

To wait until element is present, visible and interactable with Python Selenium, we can use the wait.until method.

For instance, we write

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

#...

browser.find_element_by_css_selector(".reply-button").click()

wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
email = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.anonemail'))).get_attribute("value")
print(email)

to create the wait object with

wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)

Then we call wait.until with EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.anonemail')) to wait for the element with the anonemail class to be visible.

We set the timeout to 10 seconds.

Conclusion

To wait until element is present, visible and interactable with Python Selenium, we can use the wait.until method.
