I want to know technical difference between WebDriver Wait timeout and implicitlyWait timeout.
As said in the documentation:
Implicit Waitsets internally a timeout that will be used for all consecutiveWebElementsearches. It will try lookup the element again and again for the specified amount of time before throwing anNoSuchElementExceptionif the element could not have been found. It does only this and can’t be forced into anything else – it waits for elements to show up.Explicit Wait, or justWaitis a one-timer used by you for a particular search. It is more extendible in the means that you can set it up to wait for any condition you might like. Usually, you can use some of the prebuiltExpectedConditionsto wait for elements to become clickable, visible, invisible, etc., or just write your own condition that suits your needs.
