navigate() in Selenium

In this example, we have opened the Geeks For Geeks website (link) using navigate().to() function. Then, we have refreshed the browser using navigate().refresh(), click on the element having the text ‘Trending Now’. Moreover, we will now go back to the previous page using navigate().back() function and to next page using navigate().forward() function.

Java

// Using implicit wait
package selenium1;
 
//Importing selenium libraries
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
 
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
 
public class selenium6 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
         
        // State the chromedriver URL  
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\Users\\Vinayak Rai\\Downloads\\chromedriver-win64\\chromedriver-win64\\chromedriver.exe");
                 
        // Define and initiate the chrome driver
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
                   
        // Open the Geeks For Geeks website
        driver.navigate().to("https://www.w3wiki.org/");
         
        // Add implicit wait of 5 seconds
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
           
        // refresh the current browser
        driver.navigate().refresh();
           
        // Clicking of element having text Trending Now
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Trending Now")).click();
         
        // Add implicit wait of 5 seconds
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
           
        // Go to previous web page
        driver.navigate().back();
           
        // Add implicit wait of 5 seconds
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
           
        // Go to next web page
        driver.navigate().forward();
        }
}

Difference Between get() and navigate() in Selenium

An Automation tool that lets users automate the web page and test it on various browsers is known as Selenium. Selenium helps the users to load the web page through two different functions, i.e., get and navigate. Both of these functions have their advantages as well as disadvantages. In this article, we will compare the get and navigate functions in detail.
