Selenium does not provide a way to delete cache, here are some workarounds. There are a few ways in which cache can be deleted using Selenium Webdriver for regular Chrome browsers. For instance, here they explain how selenium can be used to clear cache like a real user i.e., by navigating to chrome settings.
Selenium WebDriver provides multiple commands for handling the cookies in a website. These Selenium cookies APIs provide you the required mechanism for interacting and querying the cookies. In Selenium Java, these methods are a part of the org. openqa.
for cookies use 'delete_all_cookies()' function
driver.delete_all_cookies()
for cache create profile
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile() profile.set_preference("browser.cache.disk.enable", False) profile.set_preference("browser.cache.memory.enable", False) profile.set_preference("browser.cache.offline.enable", False) profile.set_preference("network.http.use-cache", False) driver =webdriver.Firefox(profile) If you love us?
