WebDriverWait is deprecated in Selenium 4

I'm getting a

Warning: (143,13) 'WebDriverWait(org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver, long)' is deprecated

in Selenium 4.0.0-alpha-3.

But official Selenium page lists only

WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, Clock clock, Sleeper sleeper, long timeOutInSeconds, long sleepTimeOut)

as deprecated.

What is wrong? I'm using IntelliJ, could it be their issue?

Solution

  • It doesn't appear in the docs, but if you look at the source code you will see @Deprecated annotation

    @Deprecated
public WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, long timeoutInSeconds) {
    this(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(timeoutInSeconds));
}

    In the constructor description you have the solution

    @deprecated Instead, use {@link WebDriverWait#WebDriverWait(WebDriver, Duration)}.

    Which is the constructor being called from the deprecated one in any case.

    new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
