pageLoadingStrategy with FirefoxDriver

[soph...@gmail.com]

While doing a search for an issue I was having, I came across WebDriver spec for pageLoadingStrategy - https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/raw-file/tip/webdriver-spec.html#page-load-strategies-1

This appears in the changelog for FirefoxDriver 2.40.0 as being implemented.

As part of DesiredCapabilties, I add setCapability(CapabilityType.PAGE_LOADING_STRATEGY, 'none'). I can't tell if anything has changed as a result of the new capability. If I force an error, I get the following as part of the stacktrace:
Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver
Capabilities [{platform=WINDOWS, databaseEnabled=true, cssSelectorsEnabled=true, javascriptEnabled=true, acceptSslCerts=true, handlesAlerts=true, browserName=firefox, webStorageEnabled=true, nativeEvents=true, rotatable=false, locationContextEnabled=true, applicationCacheEnabled=true, takesScreenshot=true, version=32.0}]

Am I doing something wrong? Is this capability not truly implemented?

Thanks

I do see a test for this : https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/client/test/org/openqa/selenium/PageLoadingTest.java

Hello Chung,

If you still having a problem in setting your Capability, I invite you to visit the wiki page of Selenium WebDriver : https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/DesiredCapabilities
and look to the FireFox Profile Settings section where you can find webdriver.load.strategy .

There is two possible values to set in your driver instance : unstable, conservative. Defaults to conservative.
Good luck !

Thanks for the two previous replies. webdriver.load.strategy no longer worked for what I was doing when I attempted to update to a version of Selenium past 2.39.0. It was still workable until Firefox32, when URLs stopped loading.

I'm not sure if I was entirely doing something wrong with this parameter, or not. But after updating to Firefox 32.0.1, and retrying this configuration, I'm back to the functionality I had before. So, with 2.43.1 and Firefox 32.0.1, setting CapabilityType.PAGE_LOADING_STRATEGY to 'none' gives me the seemingly same functionality I had when setting 'webdriver.load.strategy' with 2.39.0.

For reference: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/raw-file/tip/webdriver-spec.html#page-load-strategies-1

Thanks,
