Wait for page load in Selenium

Question

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

Answer 1

Imran's answer rehashed for Java 7:

    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

    wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
        public Boolean apply(WebDriver wdriver) {
            return ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(
                "return document.readyState"
            ).equals("complete");
        }
    });

Answer 2

Use implicitly wait for wait of every element on page till given time.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

this wait for every element on page for 30 sec.

Another wait is Explicitly wait or conditional wait in this wait until given condition.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("someid")));

In id give static element id which is diffidently display on the page, as soon as page is load.

Answer 3

You can use the below existing method to set the time for pageeLoadTimeout in below example if the page is taking more than 20 seconds to load , then it will throw an exception of page reload

 WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

Answer 4

You can explicitly wait for an element to show up on the webpage before you can take any action (like element.click())

driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading");
WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
  .until(new ExpectedCondition<WebElement>(){
        @Override
        public WebElement apply(WebDriver d) {
        return d.findElement(By.id("myDynamicElement"));
}});

This is what I used for a similar scenario and it works fine.

Answer 5

You can also check pageloaded using following code

IWait<IWebDriver> wait = new OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30.00));

 wait.Until(driver1 => ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));

Answer 6

Use class WebDriverWait

Also see here

You can expect to show some element. something like in C#:

WebDriver _driver = new WebDriver();
WebDriverWait _wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0));

_wait.Until(d => d.FindElement(By.Id("Id_Your_UIElement"));
