How to wait for page to load completely

I tried following return ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript( "return document.readyState").equals("complete");

but it is not working

Basically the above command is not recognizing below operations [testng] 1535139249496 addons.productaddons INFO sending request to: https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/3/GMP/57.0.4/20180103231032/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/en-US/release/Linux%204.1.12-112.14.10.el7uek.x86_64%20(GTK%203.22.10%2Clibpulse%2010.0.0)/default/default/update.xml [testng] 1535139249669 addons.productaddons INFO Completed downloading document [testng] 1535139249818 addons.productaddons INFO downloadXHR File download. status=200 [testng] 1535139249821 addons.productaddons INFO Downloaded file will be saved to /tmp/tmpaddon-c61a84 [testng] 1535139738375 addons.manager INFO Skipping background update check [testng] 1535139978387 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Save changes [testng] 1535139978387 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Starting timer [testng] 1535139978409 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Starting write [testng] 1535139978412 DeferredSave.extensions.json DEBUG Write succeeded

I gave hard sleep of 30 seconds to finish these operations Is there a way to wait for these operations to be completed?

Answer 1

In Automation script, There needs to wait on multiple instance. There can not be use Thread.Sleep(); every time. Page need to wait for JQuery, JavaScript, Angular loading. And which can not be handle by only document.readyState We have to wait for all substances if application is built on. So, We can create single method to wait for Page load and that method can call multiple times.

You can include those method, on which your application is build.

If in case Blog link might loss, there is sample Github project is available for same. Click Here

Answer 2

Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
.withTimeout(30000, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .pollingEvery(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

Hope this will help you
