How to check URL for 404 using Selenium WebDriver?

Question

What is the most convenient way using Selenium WebDriver to check if an URL GET returns successfully (HTTP 200)?

In this particular case, I'm most interested in verifying that no images of the current page are broken.

Answer 1

I would recommend you try using the code below:

List<WebElement> allImages = driver.findElements(By.tagName("img"));

for (WebElement image : allImages) {

  boolean loaded = ((JavaScriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(

      "return arguments[0].complete", image);

  if (!loaded) {

    // Your error handling here.

  }

}
