Question

When I am using a proxy in webdriver like FirefoxDriver, if the proxy is bad then the get method will block forever. I set some timeout parameters, but this did not work out.

This is my code:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("general.useragent.override", ua);    
Proxy p = new Proxy();
p.setHttpProxy(proxy);
profile.setProxyPreferences(p);
profile.setEnableNativeEvents(true);

// create a driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("www.sina.com.cn")

The call to driver.get will block for ever, but I want it to wait for 30 seconds and if the page is not loaded then throw an exception.

Answer 1

Try this:

 driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
