Sometimes the element is not found

Question

I have an unordered list after a button click and I want to get the number of how many uls are with paginated class.

 <ul class="paginated">  </ul>

Here is my code:

 element = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('paginated')
 print(len(element))

Sometimes I get 0 but there is one ul with class = paginated. I used time.sleep(1) and it's working perfectly. But I want to make it more dynamical. Can someone help me with a WebDriverWait line code to replace that time.sleep?

Induce WebDriverWait() and element_to_be_clickable()

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'ul.paginated'))).click()

Import below libraries.

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

Edit:

print(len(WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'ul.paginated')))))

It is not clickable. I need to wait until the element is found on the page – Paul Vio Dec 30 '19 at 15:58
`WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'ul.paginated')))` I am checking right now with this code line – Paul Vio Dec 30 '19 at 16:00
