java - wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf Element1 OR Element2)

Question

I want use wait.until(ExpectedConditions) with TWO elements. I am running a test, and I need WebDriver to wait until either of Element1 OR Element2 shows up. Then I need to pick whoever shows up first. I've tried:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60); 
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//h2[@class='....']"))) || wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//h3[@class='... ']"))); 

        // Then I would need:

String result = driver.findElement(By.xpath("...")).getText() || driver.findElement(By.xpath("...")).getText();

To sum up, I need to wait until either of the TWO elements shows up. Then pick whoever shows up (they cannot show up simultaneously) Please Help.

Answer 1

Now there's a native solution for that, the or method, check the doc.

You use it like so:

driverWait.until(ExpectedConditions.or(
    ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.something")),
    ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.anything"))));
