I was doing selenium test behind on dev server behind the proxy.
Since the pages has some resources (i.e ads) that blocked by the proxy, the pages are in waiting state until it got network timeout.
So, when I navigate to another page using click, the selenium is waiting for the page to be fully loaded before continue the test.
Is there any way to stop selenium waiting for the page fully loaded, since the resources blocked by the proxy isn't actually needed for the test.
Thank you.
This question actually brough up multiple times. Because it often does not make sense to stop loading resources since you always do not know what resource needs to be stopped from loading. In case you really want to do, it can be accomplished though a simple javascript hack.
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("return window.stop;");
Alrternatively,
You also can use Actions
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.sendKeys(Keys.ESCAPE);
Depending on the language binding it may change. My example is in java

While running my load test for 1 or 5 or 10 or so concurrent users, the test runs far more users in parallel. it starts new users before the first thread finishes even though Start thread count is set to some number.
Can I avoid it by setting proper delays? If so how should the delay be set?
I also tried solving it by calling driver.quit() at the end of the test in a try catch block so threads close after exdcution but looks like it doesn't closes the threads (Chrome browser windows in this case) with errors in it.
try{
WebElement myDynamicElement3 = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[text()='hello']")));
}catch(Exception e) {
throw new AssertionError("Element not found....", e);
}
driver.quit();
Please help which approach should I try and how.
Unfortunately it is not possible to provide the answer without seeing your Thread Group configuration, the way you instantiate the WebDriver, the way you're handling WebDriver instances between Thread Group iterations, etc.
In the meantime I can only recommend considering using WebDriver Sampler Plugin or at least look into its source code - this way you should learn how to properly instantiate and shut down the browser instances.
And last but not the least, using real browsers for load testing is not the best idea as modern browsers are very resource intensive, each browser instance requires full CPU core and at least 1 GB of RAM and you can simulate at least 100 virtual users using HTTP Request samplers at cost of one browser instance.
I am looking to verify if this page loads correctly - http://www2.hm.com/en_ca/women.html
These are the things I think it would be best to verify if the page is loaded correctly, please let me know if I am missing anything
1) Verify all the links on this page works?
2) Verify if the menu on the top is loaded correctly, Do I need to verify the menu names?
3) Check if the classes are loaded properly?
4) get/post request status 200 and other ajax calls?
As per your question a seperate test to check if the page is loaded correctly will be a complete overhead because the Client (i.e. the Web Browser) will never return the Execution Control back to the WebDriver instance until and unless 'document.readyState' is equal to "complete". Once this condition is fulfilled Selenium performs the next line of code.
You can find a detailed discussion on this topic in Selenium IE WebDriver only works while debugging
Next as you want to Verify if all the links on this page works or not , you can write a function() and invoke the function() whereever required.
Moving on to next question, there is no necessity to Verify if the menu on the top is loaded correctly or not as you can't test each and every aspect of each and every WebElement present on a WebPage. The best approach would be to verify and validate the attributes of only those elements with whom we need to interact.
Again Checking if the classes are loaded properly will be a overhead as JVM takes care of it in the best possible way.
Finally, to validate get/post request status 200 you have to write Tests as per your requirement.
I am using Java and Selenium to write a test. Many times in my test i have to wait till the page or some part of it loads something. I want to wait till the load is finished. I found these two:
1) pageLoadTimeout
2) setScriptTimeout
But I don't know the exact difference between them or even if they are what I need.
The document says:
setScriptTimeout: Sets the amount of time to wait for an asynchronous script to finish execution before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, then the script will be allowed to run indefinitely.
and
pageLoadTimeout: Sets the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, page loads can be indefinite.
but I don't really get it.
what I need is a wait that stops the test till nothing is happening in the web page anymore.
Define "nothing is happening in the web page." Now define it in such a way that will satisfy every web page ever created, or that ever will be created. Did your definition include that no more network traffic is coming over the wire? Did your definition include that the onload event has fired? How about document.readyState returning a value meaning "complete?" Did you take JavaScript execution into account? How about JavaScript scheduled using window.setTimeout()? WebSockets? Service Workers? What about <frame> or <iframe> elements?
Now you know why WebDriver doesn't have a "wait for page complete" type of wait. The items mentioned above don't even begin to scratch the surface of the list of things a user could legitimately use in a definition of "nothing is happening on the page anymore." The correct approach would be to wait for the element you want to interact with on the next page to be available in the DOM. The WebDriverWait class is ideally suited for exactly this.
Actually, I am creating automation testing for an e-commerce website. Actually, the website have function lazy load or something. I am testing it on UAT server. So, it will load the page slowly because the specification of the server. It takes more than 60 sec or more to load all the resources from the webpage. So, when I am trying to create selenium automation, it always waiting more than 60 sec to continue the next step (because waiting the page fully loaded). Please, someone give me tips how to continue run the test step after 10 seconds wait the page to load. It won't throw an exception, just continue the test step.
Not possible.
If you find some element and try execute some action while loading you will get stale element error + due loading issue you will have a lot of failed tests and it will take a lot more time to debug.
Automation means to execute fast and have reliable results.
It seems that this environment is not built for automation, you should request more resources.
As an alternative maybe you can use a headless driver or see if you can put the same build on a VM.
Why this is an issue: Selenium needs to wait for each request to be complete.For example when you request a page, if the page is not received entirely and the server still sending info then the request is not done, it is logical that you need a complete request in order to continue.
You should address this to your Project Manager/QA Lead and ask for advice/option on how to handle this.
Please note that these costs should be included/added in the automation price.You need to address this in a simple way:
good server -> automation runs smoothly and fast and the testing is
done faster
bad server -> unable to run automation since is not reliable and each
test has a high rate of failure => alternative X day(s) of
manual testing for each build
If this would be a coding issue like some delayed ajax request then you would have some solutions, devs could help, but if is an infrastructure/resources issue then if not depending on you, and you cannot solve it.
You could use try any type of wait implicit/explicit, explicit would throw some exception, but this is not a solution for poor resources.
I want to use webdriver in nodejs to control a website which use ajax very heavy, especially it always have http request to server.
When I use driver.executeScript , I found the promise returned almost never resovled.
I checked the website, found that it use a keep-alive http request loop to communicate with server. That means, it will always have at least one live connection to server for 30s, then another connection for another 30s, again and again. which cause document.readyState keep interactive instead of completed, and then driver.executeScript almost be blocked forever.
I had tried driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(PAGE_LOAD_TIMEOUT_MS) but it only throws a exception after timeout.
I also tried to stop the connections by press ESC on the browser window. after that, it seems driver.executeScript can run immediately. But I didn't find any function like window.stop() in WebDriver API.
so is there have a way to resolve this problem? Either should be ok like:
run executeScript right now, regardless of whether page is loaded;
a webdriver api like driver.browser.stop() could stop all live connections in page.
Nodejs code to re-produce this problem:
const WebDriver = require('selenium-webdriver')
const driver = new WebDriver.Builder()
.withCapabilities(
WebDriver.Capabilities.firefox()
.set('webdriver.load.strategy', 'unstable')
).build()
driver.get('https://wx.qq.com/')
driver.executeScript('return "99% will be blocked, 1% luck to return"')
.then(function (ret) {console.log(ret)})
thanks!
UPDATE:
I found maybe set webdriver.load.strategy to unstable in firefox will be help.
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();
fp.setPreference("webdriver.load.strategy", "unstable"); WebDriver
driver = new FirefoxDriver(fp);

I think that if you don't use Implicit time the driver won't wait till it's loaded so you'll be able to execute your script.
If this don't work you can try to use your own timer. Check if doc state is ready, if it's not ready after some timeout then stop it manually (by JS) and run your script.
By using Thread.sleep(secs);. For example, we want to load a page in 3 secs means we write thread.sleep(30000);.
