Help me out how to handle Browser pop up window using selenium webdriver

[suryanarayana mangena]

Hi Guys,

Please help me out in handling the Browser pop up window using
selenium web driver, here the case is a new browser window is opening
with in the main window browser, I want to handle that to select the
item in new browser.

I worked below code but it returns null,

String currentWindowHandle=driver.getWindowHandle();//get the main
window handle.
System.out.println(currentWindowHandle);
// Set<String> openWindowsList=driver.getWindowHandles();//It
should return set with size=2,while it returns only one.It doesnt
return the pop up window handle.

String popUpWindowHandle=null;//Variable initialized for newly
opened window with null.It remains null even after the condition in
for loop below.
for(String windowHandle:driver.getWindowHandles())
{
if (!windowHandle.equals(currentWindowHandle))
popUpWindowHandle=windowHandle;
System.out.println(popUpWindowHandle);
}
driver.switchTo().window(popUpWindowHandle);


Thanks,
Surya

Take a look in this code, I saw it in a previous post, maybe that could helps

                curWindows = driver.getWindowHandles();

                driver.clickSomething();

                newWindows = driver.getWindowHandles();

                newWindows.remove(curWindows);

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

Hi msiles,

thanks for the solution , I've tried it and came across below issue

code is as below

String sNewWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

   driver.switchTo().window(sNewWindow);

   System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

   driver.close();

   

   driver.switchTo().window(sCurrent);

   System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

Problem: instead of closing new window , it's closing old one itself.

Old window - https://www.google.com/adsense/g-app-single-1?hl=en&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-en-et-ads&medium=link

                    clicked on "What is AdSense?" link

New window -  https://www.google.com/adsense/g-app-single-1?hl=en&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-en-et-ads&medium=link

please let me know what is wrong with the code ?

other observation driver.getTitle() is returning same result for both pages , is this causing the wrong window getting closed ?

what exactly windows handle has in it ?

thanks,

Vikram

After the point wherein you opened a new window, I think you would need to do a driver.getWindowHandles() which would list out the window handles of all the open windows, then find your window that needs to be closed, switch over to it and close it off.

Something like this  (This is crashing my firefox, which I would need to figure out why :) but this is something that can help you get started )

FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://www.mail.yahoo.com");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='helpLnk']")).click();

String currentWindow =  driver.getWindowHandle();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='sign-in help']")).click();

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

Iterator<String> iterators = s.iterator();

String nameOrHandle = null;

while (iterators.hasNext()){

String id = iterators.next();

System.out.println(id);

if (! currentWindow.equalsIgnoreCase(id)){

nameOrHandle = id;

}

}

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

driver.switchTo().window(nameOrHandle).close();

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

driver.quit();

Thanks & Regards

Try this command:

driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.ElementAt(1).ToString()).Close();

Thanks Krishnan and Lerry for clarifications.

So the mistake what I did was getting only single window handle; instead of getting both windows' handle once new window is opened ( after clicking a link in parent window )

Hi ,

 

@Krishnan Once the driver is shifted to child window and if we close that child window ,how to retain the driver back to the parent window ??? 

 

 

Is that possible ??

 

Regards,

Sachin

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Have you tried using driver.switchTo().defaultContent() to return to the parent window, then try closing the child window ?

I haven't had too many instances wherein I need to play around with windows, so I wouldn't know for sure.

Sachin, use this code to switch between different windows. Yes, you're welcome :).

 

    String originalHandle = methods.getWindowHandle();
   driver.findElement(<element1>).click();                                       //clicks on element 1 on page 1
   methods.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(900, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

for (String winHandle : methods.getWindowHandles()) { //for loop to switch between new window.
methods.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(methods, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(Element2)); //wait until element2 in page 2 is present

//Do some stuff on page 2

methods.close();
methods.switchTo().window(originalHandle); //switch back to original page

Typo, methods = driver;

[sachin poovaiah]

Hi ,

@Krishnan, 

I tried switching to child window and closing the child window. When the control is in child window , the child window will have the driver control and if the driver is closed at that instance the driver will be closed . Once the driver is closed the test fails as driver only is closed.

@sirus, 

i havent tried your code still.. Thanks anyways :) surely i will have a look at it and get back to the post :) 

thanks for the help guys

regards,

Sachin

@ Sirus:

 

Thanks a lot :) you rcode wroked fine :) eventhough i am runnin g tests parallely in IE and FF and code works fine.. thanks a ton...  I was not switching to the original handle so used to get errors asdriver ended .

Now its working fine :)

[sirus tula]

Pleasure is all mine, Sachin.

 

Glad that the pain that i went through to get this code working helped you :).
