Window Maximize using Selenium webdriver v2.7.0

[TCBlues]

I'm trying to maximize the window but with no success


require "selenium-webdriver"
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
driver.navigate.to "http://www.google.es"
driver.window_maximize

[Soujanya R]

Did you try giving window size like below?

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("window.resizeTo(1280,1024);");

I'm doing this

((IJavaScriptExecutor)webDriver).ExecuteScript("if (window.screen){window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);};");

^ Yup, this is the way to do it.  Just a heads up though, the JavaScript functions window.moveTo and winodw.resizeTo have no effect in Chrome.  If you want to maximize a chrome browser, you'll have to start the browser maximized using DesiredCapabilities.  In Java:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--start-maximized"));

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Thanks Jason, I didn't know that

If you want it to be truly maximized (i.e. not merely resized to the
screen height/width), here's a little bit of black magic that I came
up with:

[Test]
public void Maximize(int browser)
{
IWebDriver driver = GetDriver(browser);

string script;
string name;

/* Some black magic to maximize Chrome. --Kris */
if (browser == Globals.CHROME)
{
name = "ed47cd2a4fcb5534a49f6eeb3bfcc564 - Google
Search";

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com/
search?q=ed47cd2a4fcb5534a49f6eeb3bfcc564");
}
else
{
/* Just in case the black magic below doesn't
work.... --Kris */
script = "window.moveTo( 0, 1 ); ";
script += "window.resizeTo( screen.width,
screen.height );";

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(script);

name = "ed47cd2a4fcb5534a49f6eeb3bfcc564";

script = "document.title='" + name + "';";

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(script);
}

/* This is some real voodoo magic here! Muaa ha ha ha!!
--Kris */
IntPtr hWnd = FindWindow(null, name + " - " +
Globals.BrowserPIDName(browser));
if (!hWnd.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
{
ShowWindowAsync(hWnd, 3); // 3 = Maximize! --Kris
}
}

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int
nCmdShow);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string sClassName,
string sAppName);


You can probably clean out the JS stuff. Also, I wasn't aware of the
--start-maximized Chrome switch when I wrote this, so I would replace
the Chrome block to what Jason suggested. =)

Great piece of code Kris - that's exactly what I thought of doing to
find the process id of the browser, setting unique title and finding
the window, but I think you can do the same with about:blank (push
document.title), why go to google?

Thanks for the code sample

[TCBlues]

Thanks for the help,
I could manage how to do it on Chrome:

driver=Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome, :switches => %w[ --start-
maximized])

still looking for the same in other browsers since the javascript
method it is not the nicest solution ;)

[Kris]

Heh good point, Maddog! I hadn't even thought of that.

Oh and super bonus points if you can un-hash the md5 string in the
search query lol. =)

We're working on an experimental window controlling API. This hasn't
been implemented for Chrome yet, but is in Firefox:

driver.manage().window()

Is your way in.

@Simon : Just curious to know if the window controlling API is up for Chrome?

[shen xieyin]

Guys, I tried the following code from other post, but it does not work FF9, is it only applied for FF7? Any idea for my case?

   Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles(); 

            String script = "if (window.screen){window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);};";

    

            ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(script); 

            Set<String> newHandles = driver.getWindowHandles(); 

            newHandles.removeAll(handles); 

            driver.switchTo().window(newHandles.iterator().next());

Latest versions of FF dont let you maximize the window via Javascript. The only exception is, when a window itself is being spawned via Javascript.

Thanks & Regards

As it was already discussed, due to reason Krishnan is mentioning, the only workaround I found that works is:

//create new driver instance, then

        //so let's use this trick

        final JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

        js.executeScript("window.open('','testwindow','width=400,height=200')");

        driver.close();

        driver.switchTo().window("testwindow");

        js.executeScript("window.moveTo(0,0);");

        js.executeScript("window.resizeTo(1280,800);");

//then just use driver instance

just replace dimensions with screen size

Thanks Jakub, this way works fine. Just wonder why here open the windown "testwindow" and then close the driver? if it's closed, why can we still switch to it?

[Richard Lavoie]

If I'm nor wrong, what you close isn't the driver but the current window.  When you close the last window the webdriver behavior is to quit the browser.

That's why you can switch to it : you create a new window and close the current, hence there is still a window open, you can switch to it and the browser is not closed.

Richard

[Jakub Siberski]

You could just switch to new window, and leave original window open. But just in case I prefer to get rid of obsolete window.

Maybe you could close differently old window, but I use driver specifics (as Richard explained).

[Patitapaban Mahapatra]

directly u can use:: driver.manage().window().maximize();
