Set Timeouts

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

TheSet Timeoutscommand of theWebDriver API sets the timeouts associated with the current session. Thesession timeout durations control such behavior as timeouts onscript injection,document navigation, andelement retrieval.

Syntax

Method	URI template
`POST`	`/session/{session id}/timeouts`

The input is aTimeouts object:

implicit: Time in milliseconds to retry theelement location strategy when finding an element. This defaults to 0, meaning the strategy is run only once.
pageLoad: Time in milliseconds to wait for the document to finish loading. By default, WebDriver will wait five minutes (or 300,000 ms).
script: Scripts injected withExecute Script orExecute Async Script will run until they hit the script timeout duration, which is also given in milliseconds. The scripts will then be interrupted and ascript timeout error will be returned. Defaults to 30 seconds (or 30,000 ms).
