How do I deal with website redirections when writing Selenium Scripts

I am testing that a web application is working as it is supposed to:

here is my script

setSpeed    7000    
open    router2/default.aspx?FIRID=10CAAR&SUMSTAT=1&SID=200ba6db-99d7-474b-a26b-8a0b9e772fec&PID=   
click   name=radio_43   
clickAndWait    id=ctl00_Content_btnContinue    
verifyTextPresent   United States Military  
selectWindow    null

I am using the setSpeed command because of that link shown below it ( router2/default.aspx?FIRID=10CAAR.... ) , which gets redirected took quickly and then generates a random URL(so I can't grab that URL).

That's why I put the 7 second delay. but it seems slow/inefficient.

thanks

Solution

  • There is no need to slow down the speed of execution just put pause for few seconds if required.

    use getAttribute method i.e. storeAttribute in IDE to get the url you want to open.

    when you use the open command selenium waits for the timeout period.

    Thnaks.
