'Stop webpage from auto-reload with selenium/chromedriver
Im using python with the selenium package and the chromedriver to scrape a webpage. The page is automatically reloading itself (probably via java-script) every 30 min, which destroyes my scraping-progress.
The webscraping is done with a script and the javascript ist needed for further interaction with the page.
Is it possible to stop the page from reloading itself, maybe with a flag for the chromedriver?
Solution 1:[1]
Found a Solution myself. I had to execute the following dev-tools command with the webdriver:
driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Emulation.setScriptExecutionDisabled', {'value': True})
Solution 2:[2]
You can just open the DevTools and pause the Debugger. Works in Firefox and Chrome (tested)!
