Selenium Wait for anyone of Element to visible

While Clicking a particular button - my test site will open modal window.

But the modal window opens are differ, either it opened with modal window 1 or modal window 2

Both are having different title, different options and different locators. Now I should have to wait until the modal window open Either 1 or 2.

Is it possible to wait until either one modal window (WebElement) is visible?

I have searched in WebDriverWait methods, but all methods are to wait until a particular WebElement to visible or clickable.

I can't find a better method to wait until either one is visible.

Could you suggests any one method to solve this situation?

You can use or expected conditions for that

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.or(
    ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("id1")),
    ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("id2"))
));

Or use cssSelector or ,

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("#id1, #id2"));

To induce WebDriverWait until either one modal window WebElement is visible you can use the or() clause as follows:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.or(
    ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.name("name_modalA_element")),
    ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("xpath_modalB_element"))
));

With cssSelector you can seperate the elements using the comma character i.e. , as follows:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("css_modalA_element, css_modalB_element"));
