i'm trying to load url https://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/products/idx/stx/blc/EURO-STOXX-50-Index-Options-46548

however some of the page get infinite loading recently and the time.sleep() function with a selenium.webdriver.execute_script('window.stop()') doesn't sovle the problem.

tried:

browser.execute_script('window.stip()')
and browser.find_element_by_tag_name("body").sendkeys(Keys.ESCAPE)

still see the page loading.

website_url = 'https://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/products/idx/stx/blc/EURO-STOXX-50-Index-Options-46548'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path, options=chrome_options)
dropdown = Select(browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="maturityDate"]'))
dropdown_len = len(dropdown.options)

for i in range(1, dropdown_len):
    rows = []
    time.sleep(2)
    browser.execute_script('window.stop()')
    # browser.find_element_by_tag_name("body").sendkeys(Keys.ESCAPE)

  • what i have to do is manually press the cross 'x' in chrome browser to kill the loading then the code move to next drop down work. Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 12:44
  • just to make sure are you putting browser.execute_script('window.stip()') in your script instead of browser.execute_script('window.stop()')?? Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 12:48
  • yes, my code snapshot is exactly what i put there. Commented Sep 12, 2019 at 14:27

I believe you're looking for the WebDriverWait method, this allows you to specify a timeout wait for an element to be present in the page and if it doesn't appear within the time allocated, you can kill the script or whatever action you wish to take.

The example is from Selenium's Python documentation

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://somedomain/url_that_delays_loading")
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "myDynamicElement"))
    )
finally:
    driver.quit()

You can use a timeout for not waiting forever

browser.implicitly_wait(60) # 60 seconds to wait && this is only used with chrome
browser.set_page_load_timeout(60) # for other browsers

This will throw an exception so you need to do a try except statement like:

browser.implicitly_wait(60)

try:
    browser.get('http://www.example.com')
except:
    print "loading exceeded the time limit" # not sure what python version you are using
