Selenium -- How to wait until page is completely loaded [duplicate]

Solution 1:

3 answers, which you can combine:

1. Set implicit wait immediately after creating the web driver instance:

   _ = driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait;

   This will try to wait until the page is fully loaded on every page navigation or page reload.

2. After page navigation, call JavaScript return document.readyState until "complete" is returned. The web driver instance can serve as JavaScript executor. Sample code:

   C#

   new WebDriverWait(driver, MyDefaultTimeout).Until(
   d => ((IJavaScriptExecutor) d).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));
   

   Java

   new WebDriverWait(firefoxDriver, pageLoadTimeout).until(
         webDriver -> ((JavascriptExecutor) webDriver).executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete"));
   

3. Check if the URL matches the pattern you expect.

Solution 2:

It seems that you need to wait for the page to be reloaded before clicking on the "Add" button. In this case you could wait for the "Add Item" element to become stale before clicking on the reloaded element:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By addItem = By.xpath("//input[.='Add Item']");

// get the "Add Item" element
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem));

//trigger the reaload of the page
driver.findElement(By.id("...")).click();

// wait the element "Add Item" to become stale
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(element));

// click on "Add Item" once the page is reloaded
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem)).click();

Solution 3:

You can do this in many ways before clicking on add items:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 40);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("urelementid"))); // instead of id you can use cssSelector or xpath of your element.

or:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated("urelement"));

You can also wait like this. If you want to wait until invisible of previous page element:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated("urelement"));
