Wait for page loading using PageFactory C# - selenium

Question

I'm using PageFactory in my selenium tests. And I've faced a problem in waiting for loading page. I'm not talking about an element on a page I'm talking about timeout of page loading.
So, I have a method like the following:
public MyProjectsPage ClickSaveAndCloseButton()
{
//Do something and click a button
SaveAndCloseButton.Click();
return new MyProjectsPage(Driver); //return new page
}
And when I'm waiting for returning new PageObject (in my case it is "MyProjectsPage") I got a timeout exception. So, where can I set a page loading timeout?
Actual mistake looks like this:
AutomatedTests.FrontEnd.SouvenirProduct.SouvenirTestExecution.OrderSouvenirWithAuthorization(ByCash,Pickup,True,Cup):
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:7585/session/b68c04d1ead1fc78fe083e06cbece38f/element/0.46564483968541026-14/click timed out after 60 seconds.
----> System.Net.WebException : The operation has timed out
I have:
The latest version of WebDriver
And the latest version of ChromeDriver and the latest version of Chrome Browser
The mistake that is above apears int the next line:
return new MyProjectsPage(Driver); //return new page
I create my ChromeDriver the next way:
public DriverCover(IWebDriver driver)
{
_driver = driver;
_driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}
private readonly IWebDriver _driver;

1 note considering wait mechanisms on the page:
Take a couple of webElements and apply for them fluentWait() . That'll be explicit wait webdriver approach.
Another approach is to try out implicit wait like:
int timeToWait=10;
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(timeToWait, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Considering you pageObject code:
I would recommed you the following:
MyPage myPageInstance= PageFactory.initElements(driver, MyPage.class);
then you write the following method :
public MyPage clickSaveAndOtherActions(MyPage testPageToClick)
{
testPageToClick.clickFirstButton();
testPageToClick.clickSecondButton();
testPageToClick.closePoPup();
return testPageToClick; //return page in a new state
}
and if you wanna continue working (I mean update your page state) you do the following:
myPageInstance = clickSaveAndOtherActions(myPageInstance );
Hope this helps you. Thanks.
UPD : as I see from the log something looks wrong with remoteWebdriver server:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : The HTTP request to the remote
WebDriver server for URL
http://localhost:7585/session/b68c04d1ead1fc78fe083e06cbece38f/element/0.46564483968541026-14/click
timed out after 60 seconds. ----> System.Net.WebException : The
operation has timed out
Also, I'd recommend you to double check you driver method init. I'm using the following piece of java code for driver init (UI , chrome instance, selenium grid+ hub nodes test architecture):
public static WebDriver driverSetUp(WebDriver driver) throws MalformedURLException {
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
log.info("Google chrome is selected");
//System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.home")+"/Documents/Tanjarine/chromedriver");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
capability.setBrowserName("chrome");
capability.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.WINDOWS);
String webDriverURL = "http://" + environmentData.getHubIP() + ":" + environmentData.getHubPort() + "/wd/hub";
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(webDriverURL), capability);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
return driver;
}

What you should really be doing when using the PageFactory pattern is when initialising your Page you should be using a constructor to initialise the elements.
public MyProjectsPage ClickSaveAndCloseButton()
{
//Do something and click a button
//I am guessing this is taking you to the MyProjectsPage
SaveAndCloseButton.Click();
return new MyProjectsPage(Driver); //return new page
}
public class MyProjectsPage
{
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "yourId")]
public IWebElement AWebElement { get; set; }
private IWebDriver WebDriver;
public MyProjectsPage (IWebDriver webDriver)
{
WebDriver = webDriver;
PageFactory.InitElements(WebDriver, this);
}
}
When you return the page, all elements using the FindsBy attribute will be initialised.
Update:
set this property on the driver when you initialise it:
WebDriver.Manage().Timeouts().SetPageLoadTimeout(timespan)

// Wait Until Object is Clickable
public static void WaitUntilClickable(IWebElement elementLocator, int timeout)
{
try
{
WebDriverWait waitForElement = new WebDriverWait(DriverUtil.driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
waitForElement.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(elementLocator));
}
catch (NoSuchElementException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Element with locator: '" + elementLocator + "' was not found in current context page.");
throw;
}
}
// Wait For Page To Load
public static void WaitForPage()
{
new WebDriverWait(DriverUtil.driver, MyDefaultTimeout).Until(
d => ((IJavaScriptExecutor)d).ExecuteScript("return document.readyState").Equals("complete"));
}
