"cannot determine loading status" after a successful click that triggers a page load on specific websites

[mdmintz]

"cannot determine loading status" after a successful click that triggers a page load on specific websites.

On some very specific websites, (such as https://www.spareroom.co.uk/flatshare/search.pl?searchtype=advanced), there is a rare possibility of reaching "cannot determine loading status" after doing:

• self.click(selector)
• Or self.type(selector, text) (where the text ends in "\n")

This was discovered after attempting to find a solution to a StackOverflow question.

If the click succeeds, then don't raise an exception for "cannot determine loading status" if that error shows up after a click.

Whereas when I am running the same suite on Firefox it's running fine.
Is there any issue with Google Chrome Version 103.0.5060.53 or anything else? Please help as I am not getting any results for the same.

Thanks in advance

@shailesh31 It's probably a new issue on Chrome Version 103, but if you want the fix for your Selenium tests, then you'll need to use SeleniumBase. Your stack trace shows Java, but SeleniumBase is a Python framework.

@shailesh31 This repo is specifically for the SeleniumBase Python framework. I'm happy to help answer questions regarding that. If you're looking for Java help, this isn't the place. If you're looking to get around the "cannot determine loading status" issue, then upgrade to the latest version of SeleniumBase, where the issue is fixed for tests that use SeleniumBase.

[shailesh31]

Thank you, I will check it out.
