Refreshing Web Page By WebDriver When Waiting For Specific Condition

Question

In Java or JavaScript:

driver.navigate().refresh();

This should refresh page.

In Python there is a method for doing this: driver.refresh(). It may not be the same in Java.

Alternatively, you could driver.get("http://foo.bar");, although I think the refresh method should work just fine.

In python

Using built in method

driver.refresh()

or, executing JavaScript

driver.execute_script("location.reload()")

5 different ways to refresh a webpage using Selenium Webdriver

There is no special extra coding. I have just used the existing functions in different ways to get it work. Here they are :

1. Using sendKeys.Keys method

   driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");
   driver.findElement(By.id("firstname-placeholder")).sendKeys(Keys.F5);
   

2. Using navigate.refresh() method

   driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
   driver.navigate().refresh();
   

3. Using navigate.to() method

   driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
   driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());
   

4. Using get() method

   driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp");  
   driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl());
   

5. Using sendKeys() method

   driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/SignUp"); 
   driver.findElement(By.id("firstname-placeholder")).sendKeys("\uE035");
