java - How to wait for either of the two elements in the page using selenium xpath

Question

I have two elements I can wait for, I want to wait until either of them appears on the page.

I am trying to use xpath locator. But it is not working.

By.xpath("//*[(contains(@id,'idNumber1')) or (contains(@id,'idNumber2'))]"));

Is this achievable?
Please help me out.

Answer 1

It is possible to wait for one of two elements in the page using ExpectedConditions.or():

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.or(
    ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("idNumber1")),
    ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("idNumber2"))
)); 

You can also do an OR with a CSS selector using a comma ,:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("#idNumber1, #idNumber2"));
