Strange interaction between Shadow and FluentWait

[zamioku]

Question: Can someone show me an example of waiting for a shadow element to be visible?

I've tried using Selenium's FluentWait but, if I use the Shadow.setExplicitWait() it seems to take into consideration this wait time as polling time, and ignores the timeout set on my fluent wait.

Here's a code snippet:

Wait<WebDriver> myWait = new FluentWait()<>(driver)
    .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(15))
    .pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
    .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

myWait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(shadow.findElement("#id")));

For shadow objects Selenium wait won't work. For Shadow objects you can use void setExplicitWait(int seconds, int pollingTime) throws Exception. This has wait time in seconds as 1st arg and pollingTime as 2nd args.

To use this you need to set first explicit wait using setExplicitWait method and then try finding the element using shadow.findElement method

Shadow shadow = new Shadow(driver);
shadow.setExplicitWait(10, 2);
WebElement element = shadow.findElement("div@user");
//now you can reset the wait to 0
shadow.setExplicitWait(0, 0);
