In my threads I use a simple variable either set to '1' or '0' to indicate if it is ready to go again. Trying to debug an issue where sometimes this isn't being reset and I think I might have it.
I didn't want connections timing out into some infinite load time (I believe the default for Selenium is not to have a timeout) so I used:
Driver.set_page_load_timeout(30)
And later on in that thread I would check
If condition:
isrunning = 0
I had originally thought that the set_page_load_timeout would just stop it loading after 30 seconds but if I'm understanding this correctly it would actually throw an exception so I'd need to do something like:
try:
Driver.set_page_load_timeout(30)
except:
isrunning = 0
Driver.Close()
-Do whatever else in function -
If condition:
isrunning = 0
Driver.Close()
So if it ran over 30 seconds it would close and set to 0 otherwise it would run on and get checked and set to 0 later.
I appreciate this is a tiny snippet of code but the full thing is pretty long winded and I think that's the important part.
I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm I have the right idea here. I'm all up for doing the testing but it's a problem which occurs once every 8 hours or so making it hard to pick apart but I think this potentially fits.
