How to stop page loading using selenium-web driver?

my-ruby · February 4, 2013, 2:25pm

require ‘selenium-webdriver’
require ‘win32ole’

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get “https://example.com/”

Say after sleep(10), I want to stop the loading of the page.Because the
page is taking too long time to load.

Any chance to do that using selenium-web driver?

Thanks

Regarding your exception, look at line 21 in answerlist.rb. That’s
failing.

Not working- Is there anyway to stop page load?

Do you get any response from that submit if you locate and click it as a
button?

After clicking on a submit, it’s bringing me to the correct page,but
browser is showing “Loading Loading… loading…” after that error
has been thrown and the browser still loading,after a long while - I can
see that the page is loaded.

Here should I need to put this - "driver.manage.timeouts.page_load

driver.get “https://prod.example.com/”

element = driver.find_element :name => “j_username”

Please confirm me!

Is there anyway to handle these exception,try to make alive the driver
continue with the browser till the page load completed?

Is there any chance to stop loading of a page in a browser? Just we do
manually on a browser by clicking on a cross sign.

Thanks

How long does the page take to load when you do this manually? Adjust
your timeout accordingly.

You can add your page load timeout setting anywhere after creating the
driver object.
