Wait for page load in Selenium

Question

How do you make Selenium 2.0 wait for the page to load?

Answer 1

NodeJS Solution:

In Nodejs you can get it via promises...

If you write this code, you can be sure that the page is fully loaded when you get to the then...

driver.get('www.sidanmor.com').then(()=> {
    // here the page is fully loaded!!!
    // do your stuff...
}).catch(console.log.bind(console));

If you write this code, you will navigate, and selenium will wait 3 seconds...

driver.get('www.sidanmor.com');
driver.sleep(3000);
// you can't be sure that the page is fully loaded!!!
// do your stuff... hope it will be OK...

From Selenium documentation:

this.get( url ) → Thenable

Schedules a command to navigate to the given URL.

Returns a promise that will be resolved when the document has finished loading.
