How to stop page loading using selenium-web driver?


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

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
Timeout.timeout(10) do

end

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

Not working- Is there anyway to stop page load?

require 'rubygems'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
require 'win32ole'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 10
driver.get "https://prod.example.com/"

element = driver.find_element :name => "j_username"
element.send_keys "####"
element = driver.find_element :name => "j_password"
element.send_keys "#####"
driver.find_element(:name, "login").submit #<== from here the code went
to forever loading and after that thrown error.Not reaching to the below
statement. tried also - "driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 10". But
no result.

driver.find_element(:link_text, "employelink").click

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.


Thanks

 ### Here should I need to put this - "driver.manage.timeouts.page_load 
= 180"?######

 ### or here should I need to put this - 
"driver.manage.timeouts.page_load = 180"?######


Please confirm me!
> driver.find_element(:link_text, "employelink").click

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

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

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.
