Sync Wait WaitProperty Exist (Are they really different?)

[farhanalam]

Hi All,

Sometime it seems they are very much same to achive something. But there must be difference. Or one goal can be achieved from different combination of these keywords.

For Example: Wait and Exists may or may not be used together to get same goal which we can get from Sync keyword.

Can someone hilight difference and resemblence they have? When and why they should be used - Scenario?

Thanks in Advance
Farhan

Wait x ----- wait for x seconds mandatorily. After x seconds pass, go to the next step immediately.
Sync ---- wait for page showing up completely upto object synchronization timeout. If synchronization timeout reaches but the page doesn't show up completely, then fail.
Object.exist ---- try to verify the object existing within the time limits, one of which is Object Synchronization Timeout
WaitProperty ---- wait the specific object property to be ready until timeout
