pageLoadTimeout in Selenium not working

I am using below code using selenium in Java. I am adding pageLoadTimeout of 4 seconds, however, the driver continues to wait till the complete page is loaded. Any help?

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");

        FirefoxBinary b = new FirefoxBinary(new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\desktop\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"));
        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setBinary(b);
        driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
        //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


        driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
List<WebElement> facilitySectionList = driver.findElements(By.className("facilitiesChecklistSection"));

The solution to your pageLoadTimeout issue would be to bump up your Selenium version to v3.5.0. Here is effective code block and the resulted org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timeout loading page after 2000ms of your own code in minimal lines:

  • Code block:

    public class Q45591282_pageloadtimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
    }
}

  • Console Output:

Catching the WebDriverException

  • Code Block:

    public class pageLoadTimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          try{
              driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
          }catch(WebDriverException e){
              System.out.println("WebDriverException occured");
          }
          driver.quit();
    }
}

  • Console Output:

    Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

if you specify the time, and selenium is not able to load the site is specified time, it will throw TimedoutException. You should handle that in your code. 

    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    try{
        driver.get("https://yahoo.com");
    }catch (TimeoutException te){
        long estimatedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        System.out.println("it took "+estimatedTime+" Time");
    }

if it's not throwing TimeoutException, either website has done loading within specified time or something is wrong with Selenium API.
