当你觉得你的定位没有问题，但是却直接报了元素不可见，那你就可以考虑是不是因为程序运行太快或者页面加载太慢造成了元素不可见，那就必须要加等待了，等待元素可见再继续运行程序。
一、强制等待（sleep）
设置等待最简单的方法就是强制等待，其实就是time.sleep()方法，不管它什么情况，让程序暂停运行一定时间，时间过后继续运行；缺点时不智能，设置的时间太短，元素还没有加载出来，那照样会报错；设置的时间太长，则会浪费时间，不要小瞧每次几秒的时间，case多了，代码量大了，很多个几秒就会影响整体的运行速度了。
二、隐性等待（implicitly_wait()）
driver.implicitly_wait()，隐性等待设置了一个时间，在一段时间内网页是否加载完成，如果完成了，就进行下一步；在设置的时间内没有加载完成，则会报超时加载。
缺点是不智能，因为随着ajax技术的广泛应用，页面的元素往往都可以时间局部加载，也就是在整个页面没有加载完的时候，可能我们需要的元素已经加载完成了，那就么有必要再等待整个页面的加载，执行进行下一步，而隐性等待满足不了这一点；
另外一点，隐性等待的设置时全局性的，在开头设置过之后，整个的程序运行过程中都会有效，都会等待页面加载完成；不需要每次设置一遍；
三、显性等待（WebDriverWait）
WebDriverWait(driver, 20, 0.5).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located(locator))，selenium中的wait模块的WebDriverWait()方法，配合until或者until_not方法，再辅助以一些判断条件，就可以构成这样一个场景：每经过多少秒就查看一次locator的元素是否可见，如果可见就停止等待，如果不可见就继续等待直到超过规定的时间后，报超时异常；当然也可以判断某元素是否在规定时间内不可见等等的各种场景吧，需要根据你自己实际的场景选择判断条件。
expected_conditions模块中提供了很多可以提供判断的条件：
text_to_be_present_in_element text_to_be_present_in_element_value #这个条件判断frame是否可切入，可传入locator元组或者直接传入定位方式：id、name、index或WebElement frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it # 这个条件判断是否有alert出现 alert_is_present # 这个条件判断元素是否可点击，传入locator element_to_be_clickable # 这四个条件判断元素是否被选中，第一个条件传入WebElement对象，第二个传入locator元组 # 第三个传入WebElement对象以及状态，相等返回True，否则返回False # 第四个传入locator以及状态，相等返回True，否则返回False element_to_be_selected element_located_to_be_selected element_selection_state_to_be element_located_selection_state_to_be # 最后一个条件判断一个元素是否仍在DOM中，传入WebElement对象，可以判断页面是否刷新 staleness_of
