Ways to refresh page using selenium to load a web element

[Manish Kumar]

Hi 

I am doing refresh to load a web element which takes time to get loaded.

I have tried following ways to refresh page using selenium API:

1) driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl());

2) action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.F5).perform();

3) driver.navigate().refresh();

4) driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());

But, I am facing the error that "Unable to communicate with server" using all of the above options.

Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Manish

Hi manish,

Might be your internet connection will be slow

Or

Use the explicit wait condition, after refresh the page.

Thanks

Hi

I tried both of the options mentioned by you, but it din't work. Apart from that I tried following code to remove unnecessary error popup containing error message,"Unable to communicate with server":

            FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();

            DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

            profile.setPreference("capability.policy.policynames", "strict");

            profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.sites", "http://10.131.40.138:7080/agora/main.action");

            profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.alert", "noAccess");

            profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.confirm", "noAccess");

            profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.prompt", "noAccess");

            dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

            dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);

            

            driver = new FirefoxDriver(dc);

Please suggest what I am missing.

Thanks
