Does it support ‘wait_for_page_load’ feature

Sure! It’s not native as part of the library, but you can write include your own: https://github.com/gempesaw/Selenium-Remote-Driver/wiki/Example-Snippets#wait-for-page-to-load . Note that the best practice in this situation is to actually put what you're waiting for as the body of the wait_until. For example, if you’re waiting to click on an element, wait_until the element exists via find_element instead of waiting for the page to load.

​

This means you won't wait any longer than necessary, and has the additional benefit of more accurately mimicking user interaction (a person using a website doesn't know or even care if the page is loaded - they just care if they can click/type/do whatever they wish to do).

Does it support assert verification, where when condition does not match , it should return and continue execution instead of exit.

Yes, you can handle this yourself in a few ways. Selenium::Remote::Driver on its own doesn’t do asserts or verification at all - it’s completely separate from a test library like Test::Spec or Test::More. So, you could pull in your test library of choice, and assert/verify away!

You can also look into Test::Selenium::Remote::Driver, which does do asserts and verification - but again, here, failing a test doesn’t end or exit the script.

A common gotcha is if your Driver execution ends up throwing an exception (like when failing to find an element, or incorrectly interacting with an alert, &c), the S::R::D code will die, which you will be responsible for wrapping in an appropriate eval or try/catch, etc. If your test encounters an exception and it’s not wrapped, then the Perl program itself will die, and S::R::D will clean up itself, which includes closing the browser and quitting the session on the webdriver server.

Thanks!
