send F11 with selenium webdriver

[ama...@bufetedemarketing.com]

Hi guys!

How could I maximize the window with Selenium Webdriver?? I want to simulate the "F11" action, but I'm not able to do it.

I've tried the following without luck:

          

1. driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(Keys.F11);  

    Thread.sleep(5000);

    driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(Keys.F5);    //this option doesn't work with Firefox and geckodriver Marionette.

 

2. driver.manage().window.setSize(1152,864);           //this doesn't compile

 

3. driver.findElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body")).sendKeys(driver.Key.F11));    //this doesn't compile

Any ideas?

Thanks so much!!

WebDriver doesn’t let you interact with the surrounding
environment. It is limited to the web content.

To maximize the window, you can call the
driver.manage().window().maximize() method in the Java API, but
WebDriver conforming implementions also have a Fullscreen Window
command. Not sure if this is exposed in the Java API yet, but file
a bug if it isn’t. It should just work with geckodriver.

Could you share more details on why it isn't compiling? 

Alternate suggestion would be try using Robot class with Key press and key release events of F11. Please let us know in case if that works :)

Hello All, 

Selenium library has a command to switch to "Full Screen" mode. 

try out this option at browser instance level. 

driver.manage().window().fullscreen();

Hi Praveen,

I've tried your option but it doesn't compile, it returns the following: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: fullscreenWindow

What can be happening?

Thanks so much.

Hi Andreas,

I tried with that: driver.manage().window().maximize() 

But it doesn't make any change... I use geckodriver. Why doesn't it work?

Thanks so much.

Please explore Robot

```

import java.awt.AWTException;

import java.awt.Robot;

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

try {

// press F11 key of keyboard to switch the browser to full screen

Robot robot = new Robot();

sleep(2000);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F11);

} catch (AWTException e) {

System.err.println("Exception (ignored) " + e.toString());

}

```

Robot might work... But please do a keyrelease once you do a keypress
