I am using below code using selenium in Java. I am adding pageLoadTimeout of 4 seconds, however, the driver continues to wait till the complete page is loaded. Any help?

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");

        FirefoxBinary b = new FirefoxBinary(new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\desktop\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"));
        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setBinary(b);
        driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
        //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


        driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
List<WebElement> facilitySectionList = driver.findElements(By.className("facilitiesChecklistSection"));

  • It took around 4-5 sec in my side to load full page. is your internet connectivity is fine? – Shubham Jain Aug 09 '17 at 13:00
  • maybe the office network is causing some problem in loading the page. Nevertheless, any ideas on the timeout thing? – Bharat Nanwani Aug 09 '17 at 13:15
  • Wait for [**`Support a timeout argument on page load operations`**](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/687) to get resolved for `pageLoadTimeout`. – undetected Selenium Aug 09 '17 at 15:53

The solution to your pageLoadTimeout issue would be to bump up your Selenium version to v3.5.0. Here is effective code block and the resulted org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timeout loading page after 2000ms of your own code in minimal lines:

  • Code block:

    public class Q45591282_pageloadtimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
    }
}

  • Console Output:

Catching the WebDriverException

  • Code Block:

    public class pageLoadTimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          try{
              driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
          }catch(WebDriverException e){
              System.out.println("WebDriverException occured");
          }
          driver.quit();
    }
}

  • Console Output:

  • This is works for me! So I guess, Selenium version 3.4.0 has some bug related to pageTimeOut method. and version 3.5.0 is currently not available in Maven. I manually added the jars and works perfectly! Thanks again. :) – Bharat Nanwani Aug 14 '17 at 07:51
  • @BharatNanwani Yep :) `pageLoadTimeout()` got fixed in v3.5.0 but in v3.4.0 we did had some work around to implement `pageLoadTimeout()` feature in some other way. Glad to be able to help you. – undetected Selenium Aug 14 '17 at 08:10
  • @DebanjanB i am using the latest selenium-java v3.141.59 and above solution didn't help me. I think [This question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60390926/pageloadtimeout-not-working-for-firefox-browser-in-selenium) that you have closed is not similar to above question. – Suban Dhyako Feb 26 '20 at 09:02
  • Above question is related to `the driver continues to wait till the complete page is loaded` but mine is just opposite that is `the driver doesn't wait till the complete page is loaded`. Mine issue only occured in firefox browser. – Suban Dhyako Feb 26 '20 at 09:10

if you specify the time, and selenium is not able to load the site is specified time, it will throw TimedoutException. You should handle that in your code. 

    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    try{
        driver.get("https://yahoo.com");
    }catch (TimeoutException te){
        long estimatedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        System.out.println("it took "+estimatedTime+" Time");
    }

if it's not throwing TimeoutException, either website has done loading within specified time or something is wrong with Selenium API.
