Check if a page is switched to another page using Selenium in Python

Question

The following code opens a page and then logins in:

self.driver.get(target_url)
login = self.driver.find_element_by_name("login")
login.send_keys("user1")
password = self.driver.find_element_by_name("password")
password.send_keys("password123")
login.submit()

How do I check if the page is switched to another page after submitting the form?

Answer 1

Use an explicit wait with an expected condition to tell when one of your login elements has gone stale:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

self.driver.get(targeturl)
login = self.driver.find_element_by_name("login")
login.send_keys("user1")
password = self.driver.find_element_by_name("password")
password.send_keys("password123")
login.submit()

WebDriverWait(self.driver, timeout).until(EC.staleness_of(login))

Answer 2

    while(self.driver.getCurrentUrl() != nextPageUrl)
