Refresh the Current Page – Selenium Java

Refresh the Current Page

To refresh the current web page using Selenium for Java, call navigate().refresh() on the WebDriver object.

The following is a simple code snippet to refresh the current page.

driver.navigate().refresh();

where

• driver is a WebDriver object.
• driver.navigate() returns the Navigation object that allows functionalities like back, forward, refresh, etc.
• driver.navigate().refresh() reloads the current web page and returns void.

Example

In the following program, we write Selenium Java code to visit Tutorialkart Home Page, and then reload/refresh the page.

Java Program

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class MyAppTest {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");
		WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
		
		try {
			driver.get("https://www.tutorialkart.com/");
			//refresh the page
			driver.navigate().refresh();
		} finally {
			driver.quit();
		}
	}
}
