selenium webdriver url navigation (on microsoft edge with window10) , hang after 28/29th url

Question

I have been doing URL navigation ( list of URL in a file ) using selenium webdriver for microsoft edge browser on window 10 machine. I have written automation script in python.

code snippet :

driver = webdriver.Edge()
driver.set_page_load_timeout(60)
for url in list_of_url: #100 url
print "navigating url :",url
driver.get(url)

So after navigating 28th url, Script got hanged on 29th URL on "driver.get(url)" line ,and never return. I have also tried with different list of urls, the behavior is same, got hanged on 29th url.

Pls look into this issue.

Answer 1

You are missing Edge browser standalone server. Download it from WebDriver for Microsoft Edge, and place it in the same directory where the scripts are stored.

Try the code snippet below, working fine for me -

import os
from selenium import webdriver

# create new Edge session
dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
edge_path = dir + "\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Edge(edge_path)
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
# driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://www.freelancer.in/")

login_button = driver.find_element_by_class_name("LandingHeader-authBtn")
login_button.click()
