Selenium WebDriver Browser Navigation Commands
The navigate interface exposes the ability to move backwards and forwards in your browser’s history but navigate().to() and get() do exactly the same thing. One’s just a lot easier to type than the other.
To Command
Purpose : This command is use to navigate on specific page or URL in between the test Command : driver.navigate().to(URL); Parameters : url – The URL to load. It is best to use a fully qualified URL
|
|
driver.navigate().to("http://www.gooogle.com");
|
Forward Command
Purpose : This command is use to go on to next page like browser’s forward button.
|
|
driver.navigate().forward();
|
Back Command
Purpose : This command is use to go back to previous page like browser’s back button.
|
|
driver.navigate().back();
|
Refresh Command
Purpose : This command is use to refresh the current page.
|
|
driver.navigate().refresh();
|
