how do you usually bewtween two different windows? can youu from 1 to 3 using seleniun webdriver code example
Example 1: multiple windows in selenium
Selenium stays on one window. If you open a window and then 5 tabs popped open,
selenium is focused on the first window
If you are on a new window and you tell selenium to print an element on
the default window, it will still work even that user’s focus is on the
new window. Must switch to new window:
- Use windowHandle()
- Driver.getWindowHandle()
- Everytime Selenium opens a browser, it's going to give an index ID
for the page called Handles
- Returns the handle/id of current page (as a string)
- driver.switchTo().window(string handle)
- driver.getWindowHandles() for multiple windows
Returns a Set of window handles
- Switch using titles:
for(string handle: driver.getWindowHandles()){
driver.switchTo().Window(handle)
if(driver.getTitle().equals(targetTitle)
break;
Example 2: how to handle windows in selenium
How do you handle windows?
- We use window handles for handling windows & tabs.
- A window handle is a randomly generated
unique id for each window.
- We can use WindowHandles to switch in
between different windows.
SYNTAX =
driver.getWindowHandle;-> returns current window handle
driver.getWindowHandles; return all current opened windows
