WebDriver.get method throws timeout exeption after 60 seconds.

[Nikolay Stanoev]

Hello,

Sometimes the opening of a URL address takes more than 60 seconds. I am not really sure where exactly is the problem for this slow response but I saw that the worst case for loading the page is around 2 minutes. As a result of this the following code throws a timeout exception

webDriver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(300, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
webDriver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(240, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

webDriver.get(url);

The exception is :

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timeout waiting to get the document.

I was wondering how to extend this timeout to lets say 2-3 minutes. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
