When I load a webpage, the text I need appears with a delay. First, there are three points instead, after some time the text itself appears.
Waiting via WebDriver wait does not work.

What you see immediately when the page loads:
Al. post office: ...
What is loaded a little later and, in fact, I need:
Al. Email: tram-param@gde-to.tut

private final WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(DriverSingleton.getDriver(), 10); private final WebElement companyEmail = wait.until( ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//li[contains(text(),'Эл. почта:')]")));

Through Assert I check the received text (email) with a regular expression. The test, of course, feilitsya, because I do not get a valid email.
Tell me how to wait for the item to load.

Waiting for you to work, you are waiting for the li tag, and you have it in the markup immediately when the page loads. As an option to use a method that would check the current value in the loop and as long as it is equal, in your case, the "..." cycle would not end.

I will write in C #, I think you will not be able to write to Java.

 private void TestMethod() { ... var selector = By.Id("email"); WaitElementChangeText(selector, "...", 15); ... } private static void WaitElementChangeText(By selector, string text, int maxWaitSeconds) { var element = _driver.FindElement(selector); // Берем текущую дату и добавляем таймаут - это максимальное время ожидания var maxDate = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(maxWaitSeconds); // Обновляем значение элемента, пока оно эквивалетно переданному ("...") и проверяем время while (element.Text.Equals(text) && maxDate.Ticks > DateTime.Now.Ticks) { element = _driver.FindElement(selector); } }
