Wait for Selector

wait_for Function

The wait_for function pauses the operation until a specific element, identified by a CSS selector, is present on the page. This ensures that the desired element is loaded before performing subsequent actions, which is crucial for interacting with dynamic content.

Parameter	Required	Description
selectors	Required when wait_for is being used	String | Wait until the listed selector(s) have loaded.
timeout	Optional	Integer | Controls the time to allow until a selector is loaded in ms.
