Different Ways to Refresh Browser

1. Refresh command: Most commonly used and simple command for refreshing a webpage.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

driver.navigate().refresh();

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. SendKeys command: Second most commonly used command for refreshing a webpage. As it is using a send keys method, we must use this on any Text box on a webpage.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

// Here "gs_htif0" is a Seach box in the site

driver.findElement(By.id("gs_htif0")).sendKeys(Keys.F5);

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Get command: This is a tricky one, as it is using another command as an argument to it. If you look carefully, it is just feeding get command with a page url.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

driver.get(driver.getCurrentUrl());

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. To command: This command is again using the same above concept. navigate( ).to( ) is feeding with a page url and an argument.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

driver.navigate().to(driver.getCurrentUrl());

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. SendKeys command: This is same SendKeys command but instead of using Key, it is using ASCII code.

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

driver.findElement(By.id("gs_htif0")).sendKeys("\uE035");
