How to wait for loading of page before performing the next operation?

My page contains advance search link in which after filling the search criteria, a loader appears which loads my result on the basis of search criteria and next I need to perform delete.

My script run so fast that it doesn't wait for loader to disappear and click on delete which should not happen since their is no record which matches my search criteria.

Code which I used-

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Anyone who can help me with wait for this kind of process.

Let me know in case of any clarification.

If you know the element of the loader (per example, classname="spinner"), you could also wait for the invisibility of that element.

Try the following code: 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By loadElement = By.className("spinner");

//wait until loader is gone
WebDriverWait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(loadElement));

Since on filling the search criteria a loader appears which loads your results on the basis of search criteria and next you need to perform delete, so we have two approaches to solve this issue.

  • In the first approach, we would wait for the loader to disappear and next click on the intended WebElement to Delete. We will be implementing this approach through WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions set to invisibilityOfElementLocated as follows:

    WebDriverWait wait10 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait10.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("xpath_of_loader")));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath_delete_button")).click();

  • In the second approach, we would wait for the WebElement as delete button to be clickable and next click on the intended WebElement to Delete. We will be implementing this approach through WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions set to elementToBeClickable as follows:

    WebDriverWait wait11 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element11 = wait11.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("xpath_delete_button")));
element11.click();

Use this is as sample first I have to wait for About link to be clickable so I have use Explicit wait and then wait for Our products link to be clickable.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebDriverWait wait =new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
WebElement aboutLink= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(driver.findElement(By.linkText("About"))));

aboutLink.click();

WebElement producttLink= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Our products']"))));
producttLink.click();

Use Explicit wait, Please used it as sample example: 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By element1 = By.xpath("path of element");

// get the button1  element
WebElement button1= wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(element1 ));
