As somewhat explained in the second solution, the method of creating an array of the window handles and then switching windows by indexing through the list has given me the best results. Are you able to get the window handles at all?

Hi Aidan,

I'm getting 2 windows handles but can't navigate to each of them.

I didn't find any bug on latest chrome driver , not sure if this is new issue got introduced ?

Thanks,
Vikram

Have you tried running the same code on another browser? I am having a similar issue myself. I am trying to accept a popup in chrome with a remoteWebDriver but it is unable to accept the alert but I have no issues in safari, IE, and firefox. I think since you have to call a switchTo().alert() to get to the alert our issues might have a similar solution. Can you accept alerts on your chrome?

Hi Aidan,

As our customer use Chrome ,need to get it working in Chrome didn't try in other browser.

I'm using below code

String firstTab = getDriver().getWindowHandle();

ArrayList<String>  sWindows = new ArrayList<String>(getDriver().getWindowHandles());

for(String window: sWindows){
	if( !window.equals(firstTab) ){
		secondTab = window;
	}
}

As per stackover flow this should work fine , currently tracking issue with https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1465
