Selenium C# Webdriver, trying to wait until all actions are complete before closing

Question

I am using Selenium Web driver version 2.48.2.

My issue is that I want to wait for the very last url to be loaded and then take my screen shot and close the browser and driver.

So if I debug the session, I can see all my methods being called immediately, not waiting for the browser to load up, this is a problem because If I have my Quit() method on the last line of code the browser closes immediately, and doesn't run through each step in time.

If I remove the Quit() method, the browser runs through all my scenarios as expected.

So is there a way to have the driver wait until the browser is finished actioning all my steps?

Any help is much appreciated.

It really depends on what is happening. The best way is to wait for an element to appear on the screen using an explicit wait http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp

IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.Url = "http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading";
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
IWebElement myDynamicElement = wait.Until<IWebElement>((d) =>
    {
        return d.FindElement(By.Id("someDynamicElement"));
    });

If that is not possible, you might try injecting javascript into the page with a

setTimeout(functionThatAddsAnElementToTheDom,1);

This will run once your other process has completed and you can test for the new element using Wait.Until()
