How to wait until page is loaded with Selenium WebDriver for Python?
To wait until page is loaded with Selenium WebDriver for Python, we can use the until method.
For instance, we write
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("url")
delay = 3
try:
myElem = WebDriverWait(browser, delay).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'IdOfMyElement')))
print("Page is ready!")
except TimeoutException:
print("Loading took too much time!")
to create a WebDriverWait instance with the browser and a 3 seconds delay.
Then we call until with the element to wait for, which we get with
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'IdOfMyElement'))
Conclusion
To wait until page is loaded with Selenium WebDriver for Python, we can use the until method.
