In a multi-monitor display environment, how do I tell Selenium which display to open a new window in?
Two options (this is for the coypu c# wrapper):
Use the Selenium Driver's window positioning commands:
var monitor = Screen.FromPoint(new Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right + 1, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Top)); var seleniumDriver = new ChromeDriver(options); seleniumDriver.Manage().Window.Position = new Point(monitor.Bounds.X, monitor.Bounds.Y); var coypuDriver = new MultimonWebDriver(seleniumDriver, Browser.Chrome); var rv = new BrowserSession(sessionConfiguration, coypuDriver);
Configure the Driver with a command line argument. I prefer this because solution #1 causes a flicker from the driver's server showing the window before processing the move command:
var monitor = Screen.FromPoint(new Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Right + 1, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Top)); var options = new ChromeOptions(); options.AddArgument(String.Format("--window-position={0},{1}", monitor.Bounds.X, monitor.Bounds.Y)); var seleniumDriver = new ChromeDriver(options); var coypuDriver = new MultimonWebDriver(seleniumDriver, Browser.Chrome); var rv = new BrowserSession(sessionConfiguration, coypuDriver);
where MultimonWebDriver is simply exposing access to the protected constructor:
public class MultimonWebDriver : SeleniumWebDriver
{
public MultimonWebDriver(IWebDriver webDriver, Browser browser) : base(webDriver, browser)
{
}
}
In python:
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.set_window_position(2000, 0)
In OSX Mavericks you can assign desktop from the Options menu when clicking and holding the icon from the dock. This solved the problem for me.
