Wait Strategies

Sometimes your HTML content depends on external resources (like images or fonts) or JavaScript execution. You can use WaitStrategy in BrowserOptions to ensure the page is fully loaded before rendering.

Network Idle

Wait until there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500ms.

var options = new BrowserOptions
{
    WaitStrategy = WaitStrategy.NetworkIdle,
    WaitTimeoutMs = 15000 // Timeout if it takes too long
};
await browser.StartAsync(options);

JavaScript Variable

Wait until a specific JavaScript variable evaluates to a certain value. This is useful for Single Page Applications (SPAs) or complex JavaScript-driven layouts.

var options = new BrowserOptions
{
    WaitStrategy = WaitStrategy.JavascriptVariable,
    WaitVariable = "window.readyToRender",
    WaitVariableValue = "true",
    WaitTimeoutMs = 15000
};
await browser.StartAsync(options);

Timeouts

If timing out is not desirable, you can disable timeouts altogether by setting WaitTimeoutMs to null.

var options = new BrowserOptions
{
    WaitTimeoutMs = null
};
await browser.StartAsync(options);
