In IE new window is opening instead of new tab in selenium web driver whereas same is working chrome

[rajesh mehta]

HI Group Members,

When a link is clicked manually in my application, it opens in new tab in Chrome and IE.However when my script is run, the link opens in a new window in IE instead of new tab. Same script runs as expected in Chrome. Any idea how to get rid of this?

I have used following  DesiredCapabilities   in code. Please revert asap.. 

else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("explorer"))

 {

 //String path = ExecutableJar.CDE; //DND For Package file

 //System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",path); //DND For Package file 

 System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","C:\\\\temp\\AutomationTests_SampleCube\\src\\External_Jars\\libs\\IEDriverServer.exe");

   DesiredCapabilities  dc = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

   dc.setJavascriptEnabled(true);

   dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);

   dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IE_ENSURE_CLEAN_SESSION, true);

   dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.ENABLE_ELEMENT_CACHE_CLEANUP, true);

   dc.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.NATIVE_EVENTS, true);

       

       return new InternetExplorerDriver(dc);

 }

Rajesh,

 

How does it matter if the link opens up in a new tab or a new window ? AFAIK these two are just two different presentations that the browser offers for ease of use for the users.

I don’t think it really matters if it’s a tab or a new window. To the browser and for that matter, to selenium, it’s the same thing.

 

I believe there’s a setting in IE wherein you can have IE always resort to opening new windows as tabs. Maybe its that setting that’s interfering here.

 

All said and done, your selenium script should be agnostic to this because in both the cases, the behavior would be the same w.r.t Selenium.

 

Thanks & Regards

HI Krishnan,

Well, thanks for ur time and patience for this revet. I second on this whatever you have explained but problem which i am facing is little different here. Had to move my control of driver from one tab to another tab upon clicking on some link which result to open a new tab. Now same is working fine chrome and firefox..but in IE it is opening a tab every time manually. However same is not happening whenever IE run by driver. 

Please suggest further what to do. Have tried to add some capabilities and option but no luck so far. 

Thanks 

Rajesh Mehta

Am not sure I quite understand the problem. Are you saying that you aren't able to switch to the new tab using switchTo().window() ?

Hi,

Try to use robot class. There you can press Ctrl + T for opening new Tab.

This is a option which will work. Better options still available.

Thanks.

Hi Hiral,

Could you add the below two lines to your ie browser settings

options.setCapability(CapabilityType.PAGE_LOAD_STRATEGY, "normal");

options.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);

Before launching the script ensure clear all existing sessions.

I hope that solves your problem.
