The connection has timed out Error using Selenium Webdriver

Question

When I run selenium script for the opening gmail.com in Eclipse it does not get loaded and shows an error: "The connection has timed out the server at www.demo.guru99.com is taking too long to respond. "

Answer 1

Try to use implicit waits to ensure that the objects are available to selenium.

Include this code in @BeforeTest or @BeforeSuite annotation which ensure the entire test suite will not run if this fails. You can also use try/catch to catch the error and throw exception. Choose whatever is best solution in your case

public static Boolean IsObjectExists(WebDriver driver, By locator) {

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

        try {

            driver.findElement(locator);

            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

            return true;

        } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {

            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

            return false;

        }
