goto method

Future<Response> goto(
  1. String url, {
  2. String? referrer,
  3. Duration? timeout,
  4. Until? wait,
})

The Page.goto will throw an error if:

  • there's an SSL error (e.g. in case of self-signed certificates).
  • target URL is invalid.
  • the timeout is exceeded during navigation.
  • the main resource failed to load.

page.goto will not throw an error when any valid HTTP status code is returned by the remote server, including 404 "Not Found" and 500 "Internal Server Error". The status code for such responses can be retrieved by calling response.status.

NOTE page.goto either throws an error or returns a main resource response. The only exceptions are navigation to about:blank or navigation to the same URL with a different hash, which would succeed and return null.

NOTE Headless mode doesn't support navigation to a PDF document. See the upstream issue.

Shortcut for Page.mainFrame.goto

Parameters:

  • url: URL to navigate page to. The url should include scheme, e.g. https://.
  • timeout Maximum navigation time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass Duration.zero to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the Page.defaultNavigationTimeout or Page.defaultTimeout properties.
  • wait When to consider navigation succeeded, defaults to Until.load. Given an array of event strings, navigation is considered to be successful after all events have been fired. Events can be either:
    • Until.load - consider navigation to be finished when the load event is fired.
    • Until.domContentLoaded - consider navigation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
    • Until.networkIdle - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least 500 ms.
    • Until.networkAlmostIdle - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms.
  • referrer Referer header value. If provided it will take preference over the referer header value set by Page.setExtraHTTPHeaders.

Returns: Future which resolves to the main resource response. In case of multiple redirects, the navigation will resolve with the response of the last redirect.

Implementation

Future<Response> goto(String url,
    {String? referrer, Duration? timeout, Until? wait}) {
  return mainFrame.goto(url,
      referrer: referrer, timeout: timeout, wait: wait);
}
