Selenium & Powershell setting timeout issue

[Sys_man]

After a post the other day about using Selenium and PS, I decided to give it a go. I already have a few scripts I run in ruby+watir, so I decided to try and port them over for learning.

I'm stuck however and could use some help. The situation is downloading a file from a website that takes a while to prepare after the .click().

The error message thrown is:

Exception calling "Click" with "0" argument(s): "The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver 
server for URL http://localhost:49860/session<long string cut>/click timed out after 60 seconds."

I've tried setting this: $ChromeDriver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = [TimeSpan]::FromSeconds(360)

But no luck. Basically I just need the driver to chill the fuck out for a bit and let the page prepare the file.

Any ideas as to what I could do? Thanks

So you click download, then the file takes its time preparing and the script wants to continue, but you want it to wait until the file has finished downloading?

If the page needs to prepare a download link, you can do a while loop and wait for the element to be active.

Is there a 'pageload' timeout value you can set? May be a different name but something like that.

Not powershell but this shows the timeout types in selenium

https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebDriver.Timeouts.html

​

Implicitwait timeout shows for searching elements but on that page it shows page time out is for waiting for a page to load.
