Browser Navigation Using WebDriver

Browser Navigation.


Do you want to automate any browser action (Ex: forward, back, refresh) using WebDriver ?

Cases where we need this type of operations

• You need to verify your web-application going to previous page if you click on browser back button.
• Sometimes you may want to refresh the browser to complete some action.

Its pretty simple with WebDriver. Here is the logic to do browser navigation operations.

//TO perform browser back button action

driver.navigate().back();

//TO perform browser forward button action

driver.navigate().forward();

//To refresh bowser

driver.navigate().refresh();

//To navigate to particular URL

driver.navigate().to("url");

//You can give url in String or java.net.URL url format

I hope this would be helpful for beginners.
