ExpectedConditions can not be resolved

Question

I am new to selenium and wanted to use Explicit wait with chrome driver.But I am not able to use ExpectedConditions class as it says "org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions" can not be resolved.Also I am not getting until() method in WebDriverWait class.Have shared the code and pom file I am using.Please guide where I am going wrong.

Selenium Script

package seleniumutils;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.By.ById;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;//Error at this line 


public class SeleniumUtils {

    WebDriver driver;
    final String webUrl = "url";
    final String pathToChromeDriver = "path to chromedriver.exe";
    final String KEY_WEB_DRIVER = "webdriver.chrome.driver";
    WebDriverWait wait;

    public void initDriver() {
        System.setProperty(KEY_WEB_DRIVER, pathToChromeDriver);
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get(webUrl);
        //         driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5000, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        String str = driver.getCurrentUrl();
        System.out.println("The current URL is " + str);
        wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
    }


    public List < WebElement > getElementsByID(String id) {
        List < WebElement > list = (List < WebElement > ) driver.findElement(ById.id(id));
        return list;
    }

    public void waitForScanner(String lookup) {

        WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(driver.findElement(By.xpath(lookup))));
    }

SCREENSHOTS

Answer 1

The error you are seeing says it all :

"org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions" can not be resolved

It is clear from your published code you have missed out to include the following imports :

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

Finally, you have tried the ExpectedConditions as :

until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(driver.findElement(By.xpath(lookup))));

If you look at the JavaDocs of the ExpectedConditions as visibilityOfElementLocated the method clearly accepts the parameter By locator where as you have passed WebElement element which is as follows :

visibilityOfElementLocated(By locator)
An expectation for checking that an element is present on the DOM of a page and visible.

Solution

The solution will be to :

• Add the required import :

  import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
  

• Change the call to visibilityOfElementLocated as :

  WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(lookup)));
