Python selenium - changing a URL during the test, request is not finished and the script hangs

Question

I have a testing scenarios which run on certain url, when i change the url the browser hangs on the changed url, no 'Finished Request' in the log. any idea why the browser hangs? I can see that the browser is presenting the new url - all elements are presented, when I manually refresh the browser the script continues.

class ArmingScenarios(unittest.TestCase):
    LogFile.logfilename

    def testing_arming_scenarios(self):
        driver.get(config.get('WeRURL', 'wer_url'))
        Login.login(driver)
        Arming.arming(self,'dashboardScreenStatusTxt',config.get('Arming','arming_button'),config.get('Arming','disarm_button'))
        driver.get(config.get('WeRURL', 'history_url'))
        Testing.validate_history(self,driver)
        print('Pass')

If you are not running on current versions of both Chrome and chromedriver, please update to Chrome build 65 and chromedriver 2.37 HERE. To update your Chrome, go to help > About google chrome and it should update automatically. If you cannot update to current builds, try using this:

from selenium import webdriver

ChromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
ChromeOptions.add_argument('--disable-browser-side-navigation')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('your/path/to/chromedriver.exe', 
chrome_options=ChromeOptions)

Also, refer to Python - selenium webdriver stuck at .get() in a loop, for more help about .get() hang issues with selenium.
