For scrapy/selenium is there a way to go back to a previous page?
Here the advice is to use driver.back() : https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/navigating.html#navigation-history-and-location
The currently selected answer provides a link to an external site and that link is broken. The selenium docs talk about
driver.forward()driver.back()but those will sometimes fail, even if you explicitly use some wait functions.
I found a better solution. You can use the below command to navigate backwards.
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-1)")hope this helps someone else in the future.
