how to get an attribute value that returns a boolean in selenium

<h1 class="style-scope group-search" data-group-search="false" style="display: none;">Searching...</h1>

I need to get the value that changes from false to true using selenium-java, so I can create a preconditionWait that waits for the value to return true, in order to continue with the method.

While searching for the text, that boolean may changes. So you can get the boolean value of the web element using getAttribute() method.

 WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h1[contains(text(),'Searching')]"));
 boolean isSearch = element.getAttribute("data-group-search");

It's hard to get a working solution for you with the lack of HTML and context, but here's my best..

bool groupSearch = false;
while (!groupSearch)
    groupSearch = Boolean.parse(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".style-scope.group-search")).getAttribute("data-group-search"));

// at this point in the code, the `data-group-search` will be `true`
