So I understood fluent and explicit waits but I could never get the implicit statements to work in the past. I managed to not deal with them using explicits but I then designed a test that was fairly simple but it would only work with Thread.sleep and I absolutely HATE that method and try to avoid it at all costs. So I attempted the implicit wait function again... fail.
The code below with Thread.Sleep works as intended and is great
package myPackages;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
// Unit test testing the Main User Drop Down Menu
// This tests the following:
// - changing status to Online, Away, Busy, Invisible via Left menu
// - Going to Settings
// - Logging out
import org.junit.AfterClass;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class statusTest {
private static WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();
public static String HOME_URL = "http://localhost:3000";
public static String currentUserStatus;
private static By usernameOrEmailFieldLocator = By.id("emailOrUsername");
private static By passwordFieldLocator = By.id("pass");
private static By loginButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("button.button.primary.login");
private static By openMenuLocator = By.cssSelector("span.arrow.bottom");
private static By onlineButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("button.status.online");
private static By awayButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("button.status.away");
private static By busyButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("button.status.busy");
private static By invisibleButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("button.status.offline");
private static By userStatus = By.className("thumb");
@BeforeClass
public static void beforeClass() {
driver.get(HOME_URL);
driver.findElement(usernameOrEmailFieldLocator).sendKeys("adrian");
driver.findElement(passwordFieldLocator).sendKeys("adrian");
driver.findElement(loginButtonLocator).click();
}
@Before
public void before() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(100);
new WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(openMenuLocator)).click();
Thread.sleep(100);
new WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(onlineButtonLocator)).click();
}
@AfterClass
public static void doEnd() {
driver.quit();
}
private static void changeStatusTo(By statusLocator) throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(100);
new WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(statusLocator)).click();
Thread.sleep(100);
currentUserStatus = driver.findElement(userStatus).getAttribute("data-status");
}
@Test
public void setAway() throws Exception {
changeStatusTo(awayButtonLocator);
Assert.assertEquals("away", currentUserStatus);
}
@Test
public void setOnline() throws Exception {
changeStatusTo(onlineButtonLocator);
Assert.assertEquals("online", currentUserStatus);
}
@Test
public void setBusy() throws Exception {
changeStatusTo(busyButtonLocator);
Assert.assertEquals("busy", currentUserStatus);
}
@Test
public void setInvisible() throws Exception {
changeStatusTo(invisibleButtonLocator);
Assert.assertEquals("invisible", currentUserStatus);
}
}
but when I end up trying to use the implicit (such as below) it doesn't work. I ensure to declare it once (in this case the @beforeclass) right after the driver is declared. The tests would fail within the Before class. I included the trace stack at the very bottom on this page:

Use TimeUnit.SECONDS in your implicit waits instead of milliseconds. Quick glance through your code indicates that you have used 100 milliseconds in implicit wait which is very nominal compared to 3 seconds assigned in explicit wait.
Note:unit for explicit wait is in seconds.
1000ms=1s
You should be using 3000ms in implicit wait if timeunit HAS to be in milliseconds.
