pageLoadTimeout in Selenium not working

Question

I am using below code using selenium in Java. I am adding pageLoadTimeout of 4 seconds, however, the driver continues to wait till the complete page is loaded. Any help?

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Desktop\\geckodriver.exe");

        FirefoxBinary b = new FirefoxBinary(new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\desktop\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"));
        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setBinary(b);
        driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
        //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


        driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
List<WebElement> facilitySectionList = driver.findElements(By.className("facilitiesChecklistSection"));

It took around 4-5 sec in my side to load full page. is your internet connectivity is fine? — Shubham Jain

maybe the office network is causing some problem in loading the page. Nevertheless, any ideas on the timeout thing? — Bharat Nanwani

The solution to your pageLoadTimeout issue would be to bump up your Selenium version to v3.5.0. Here is effective code block and the resulted org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Timeout loading page after 2000ms of your own code in minimal lines:

Code block:

public class Q45591282_pageloadtimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
    }
}

Console Output:

Catching the WebDriverException

Code Block:

public class pageLoadTimeout 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
          driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
          try{
              driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl");
          }catch(WebDriverException e){
              System.out.println("WebDriverException occured");
          }
          driver.quit();
    }
}

Console Output:

Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

WebDriverException occured

This is works for me! So I guess, Selenium version 3.4.0 has some bug related to pageTimeOut method. and version 3.5.0 is currently not available in Maven. I manually added the jars and works perfectly! Thanks again. :)
@BharatNanwani Yep :) pageLoadTimeout() got fixed in v3.5.0 but in v3.4.0 we did had some work around to implement pageLoadTimeout() feature in some other way. Glad to be able to help you.
@DebanjanB i am using the latest selenium-java v3.141.59 and above solution didn't help me. I think This question that you have closed is not similar to above question.
Above question is related to the driver continues to wait till the complete page is loaded but mine is just opposite that is the driver doesn't wait till the complete page is loaded. Mine issue only occured in firefox browser.

if you specify the time, and selenium is not able to load the site is specified time, it will throw TimedoutException. You should handle that in your code.

    driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    try{
        driver.get("https://yahoo.com");
    }catch (TimeoutException te){
        long estimatedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        System.out.println("it took "+estimatedTime+" Time");
    }

if it's not throwing TimeoutException, either website has done loading within specified time or something is wrong with Selenium API.
