How to set global timeouts?

[mil7]

Hi there,

we are struggling with feature tests failing with error messages like that

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: 
Expected condition failed: waiting for net.serenitybdd.core.pages.RenderedPageObjectView$$Lambda$1027/0x00007fad704fb920@3cd7ba1d (tried for 0 second(s) with 50 milliseconds interval

I have already learned that the "0 second(s)" is just a rounding issue and indicates that the default wait-for-timeout of 500 ms has not been overwritten even though I am doing my best.

Now, how can I set the main timeouts globally?

As far as I can judge, these serenity.conf settings do nothing

• https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/reference/serenity-properties#serenitytimeout
• https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/reference/serenity-properties#webdriverwaitfortimeout
• https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/reference/serenity-properties#webdrivertimeoutsimplicitlywait

Please contradict me, if I am wrong.

I just stumbled over another part of documentation indicates that timeouts are set through, which also do not cope:

• https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/guide/driver_config#configuring-timeouts

Which part of documentation is correct? As soon as I understand the configuration I am very happy to contribute the doc updates.

I found issues where the same situation is discussed:
