How to refresh a page on browser using selenium-webdriver?

Question

Follow the below part of the code:

driver.get "https://example.com/"  element = driver.find_element :name => "username" element.send_keys "*****" element = driver.find_element :name => "password" element.send_keys "*****" element.submit 

Now point is when the driver opened the URL on the browser, Some times the next page to which username and password has to be put by the script, not coming- which causes the script to failed. Some intermediate page is coming asking us to click on 'retry button' or 'refresh the page'. Thus the script whenever such case occurred stopped execution, as not getting the mentioned element.

So is there any way to refresh that intermediate page with "sleep" before going to the "Log-in" page, so that script can run in one go?

Answer 1

For Capybara, I think Tommyixi's comment is the best:

 visit current_path 

Answer 2

As mentioned in a comment by @Nakilon, with non-Poltergeist drivers in Capybara use the following to refresh the current page:

page.driver.browser.navigate.refresh 

But for a universal fix, use:

page.evaluate_script 'window.location.reload()'
