name: Set Implicit Wait Timeout
short_description: Set the amount of time the driver should wait when searching for elements

description:
  |
    When  searching for a single element, the driver should poll the page until an element is found or
    the timeout expires, whichever occurs first. When searching for multiple elements, the driver
    should poll the page until at least one element is found or the timeout expires, at which point
    it should return an empty list.

    If this command is never sent, the driver should default to an implicit wait of 0ms

example_usage:
  java:
    |
       driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  python:
    |
      self.driver.implicitly_wait(5000)
  javascript_wd:
    |
    await driver.setImplicitWaitTimeout(5000);

  javascript_wdio:
    |
      driver.timeoutsImplicitWait(5000)
  ruby:
    |
      @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 5 # Ruby translates it to seconds
