To set the timeout for the Selenium WebDriver get method, you can use the implicitly_wait methods.

Using implicitly_wait:

driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

This method sets a global wait time for the WebDriver instance, affecting subsequent commands. It’s useful for handling elements that may not be immediately available after a page load.

There are other alternative wait methods that you can use: set_page_load_timeout:

driver.set_page_load_timeout(10)
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

This method sets the maximum time to wait for a page to load completely. If the page does not load within the specified time, a TimeoutException is thrown. It’s useful for scenarios where you want to ensure a page loads within a certain timeframe.

#6

Using set_script_timeout: This method sets the maximum time to wait for asynchronous scripts to finish execution. It’s useful for pages that use asynchronous JavaScript, ensuring that scripts do not cause delays in test execution.

driver.set_script_timeout(10)
driver.get("https://www.example.com")
