I'm filling two forms that has different urls using selenium python. The script fills the first form and click on a submit button to go to the second form. Sometimes, It does not go to the second form, it stays on the first one.

What I want to do is to check if the url stays the same after clicking on the submit button, the script redo the process and refill the first form again, if the url changes, the script continue working normally.

This is what I tried so far

first_url = 'http://example.com/1'
check = driver.current_url

while True:
    if first_url != check:
        break
    else:
        form1() # function that fills the first form

The problem I am facing is that the first form continue to fills after that, the script doesn't skip the check and moves to the next functions. I want to do only one check that's all.

Code of the first form

def form1():
    try:
        driver.get(site)
        mission = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="mission"]/option[1]'))).click()
        service = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="service"]/option[4]'))).click()
        phone = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="phone"]'))).send_keys(' 15041245829')
        email = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="email"]'))).send_keys('[email protected]')
        submit = driver.find_element('id','submit').click()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

Code of the second form

def form2():
    try:
        date = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="date"]/option[1]'))).click()
        time = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="time"]/option[2]'))).click()
        submit = driver.find_element('id','submit').click()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

And I've added the check to a function

def check():
    while True:
        check = driver.current_url
        if first_url != check:
            break
        else:
            form1()

I execute the code like that:

form1()
check()
form2()

check->

def check(url1,url2):
    if url1 == url2:
        return False
    else:
        return True

main->

site = 'https://www.example.com'


driver = webdriver.Chrome()

form1(site,driver)
form2(driver)

if this doesn't work then the issue is probably from the click on the submit button and without a link i cant help with that you have to keep testing yourself.
