ElementNotVisibleException in Selenium

Question

I have a problem with Selenium WebDriver throwing ElementNotVisibleException for the element being loaded in a pop-up window even though when instantiating the WebDriver I use:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Occurs for Chromedriver and IEDriver

Is the popup javascript alert or some element inside the page? — Pavel Janicek

It sometimes happens when the element is always on page, but its hidden by javascript. Then sometimes WebDriver thinks that its still hidden. Will have to investigate on it how do I solve it... — Pavel Janicek

it seems that WebDriver ignores implicitlyWait - stack trace shows "command duration or timeout: 31 miliseconds" — user1481927

Seems that solution was quite simple:

WebElement cBoxOverlay = wait.until(ExpectedConditions
            .visibilityOf(driver.findElement(By.id("cboxOverlay"))));

Driver waits to load the cBox and then tries to find the close button

Thanks, this is helpful. In case anyone else is wondering, you'll first need to do something like this, in order to call wait: WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 100);
