get_implicit_wait

[snoopyjc]

🚀 Feature Proposal

I would like to propose a driver.get_implicit_wait() function.

Motivation

Functions shouldn't have side-effects if if I call driver.implicitly_wait(2) in my function, there is no way to set it back to what it was.

Example

def do_something():
    old_wait = driver.get_implicit_wait()
    driver.implicitly_wait(2)
    try:
        ... do stuff ...
    finally:
        driver.implicitly_wait(old_wait)

I don't think drv.implicitly_wait is meant to be used that way, we have WebdriverWait + ExpectedConditions for that sort of things.
I think the implicit wait is for the webdriver to work correctly over slow networks, real or synthetic bandwidth throttle that take a long time to load overall

[isaulv]

Since this is Python, write a context manager to reset your prior implicit wait.
This will not be added to the library, but if others want to add a thing under support, I am not opposed.

Thank you!
