Hey so I have this line of code. It should visit google and refresh the page 15 times. Then close the driver and open it again another 15 times and then close the browser again and so on. It should keep doing that until the program is stopped.
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
count = 15
while count != 0:
driver.get('https://google.com/')
count -= 1
driver.close()
This is my code so far. Any help will be great.
To visit the url https://www.google.com/ and refresh the page 15 times. Then close the driver and open it again another 15 times and then close the browser again and so on you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
while True:
try:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
for _ in range(15):
driver.refresh()
print("Page Refreshed")
driver.quit()
except:
break
Console Output:

Instead of using driver.get('https://google.com/') to refresh the page, try using driver.refresh(). At the same time, instead of using a while loop, you should try to use a for loop. Here's how I would do it
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
for iters in range(15):
driver.refresh()
driver.close()
Hope this helped!
You are not far from what you want to achieve, the on challenge is the terminal condition of you while loop, by writing while count != 0, you are asking your loop to run for all values of count from 15 to negative infinity but to skip 0. This should make you program run infinitely.
You can better get it done this way:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
count = 15
while count > 0:
driver.get('https://google.com/')
count -= 1
driver.close()
so your loop terminates once count becomes less than 1
