Could not able to navigate to the child browser window

[Biswajit Samal]

Respected All,

I am facing a serious issue, After following all possible post related to this issue, still not able to figure it out . My problem is I am not able to switch to the child browser window hence can not able to perform an action on it.

My script is:-

 // Store and Print the name of the First window on the console

        String parentWindowHandle= driver.getWindowHandle();

        System.out.println("Parent window-->" +parentWindowHandle);

        // Click on the Button 

        driver.findElement(

By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div[13]/div[2]/span/ul/li/a"))

.click();

        // Store and Print the name of all the windows open              

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

        System.out.println("All possible window-->" +WindowHandles);

        // Pass a window handle to the other window

        for (String childWindow : driver.getWindowHandles()) {

        System.out.println("Child window-->" +childWindow);

        driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);

// PERFORM THE ACTION IN NEW WINDOW

System.out.println("We are in second window");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[@title='Vat UK']")).click();

        }

After clicking on the button a new browser window opens and that is the end of the story. It only gives the id of the parent window. 

If I manually click on the child window it works and test pass, shows all possible outputs.

Please help me, how to handle/solve this ..

you need to use switch window function to go to pop up. By switching, u r just setting the context. u r storing parent window handle to switch back to parent after finishing pop up task

You write driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[@title='Vat UK']")).click(); within the for loop, which means it will try to click on such kind of element on each of the window under current webdriver instance, including the parent. If this element is not available on the first try, it will throw no such element exception.  ALWAYS READ THE ERROR MESSAGE AND THEN ASK THE QUESTION! 

If I am right till now, what I will do is to use title or URL to identify each window, stop the for loop on the page you want to continue your work. And then write the click method out of the loop, since you only want to click once. 

One more tip: when you do switch, the page load waiting may not enough, it will be safe if you can give a physical waiting time here to increase the reliability of your selenium script, like 2 secs.

Hi Samal, 

 

I tooo faced same problem for about 3 months and finally figured out....just replace your code like below

 // Store and Print the name of the First window on the console

        String parentWindowHandle= driver.getWindowHandle();

        // Click on the Button 

        driver.findElement(

By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div[13]/div[2]/span/ul/li/a"))

.click();

           

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

        for (String childWindow : driver.getWindowHandles()) {

         if(!(parentWindowHandle.equals(childWindow)))   -----> Write this line exactly in your eclipse

{

            Thread.sleep(2000);

            driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);

             Thread.sleep(2000);

           driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[@title='Vat UK']")).click();

}

        

         }

Let me know if the above code works...

Hi Seenu,

Thanks for your valuable response, but the solution which you have provided is not working I stuck in the same scenario as previous.  The output in stack trace is  as follows:-

Parent window-->{355222fe-9a77-49db-91fa-d1746203a2fb}

All possible window-->[{355222fe-9a77-49db-91fa-d1746203a2fb}]

Hear the child window is not showing , hence it is not able to switch control to the child window.  

If you wish I can provide the HTML .

Hi Samal, 

So in your case it is taking one window into Set..that means u need to put some time after clicking on some button which is present in Parent WIndow like...

driver.findElement(

By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div[13]/div[2]/span/ul/li/a"))

.click();

Thread.sleep(5000);

Try this...surely it should work...

Reply me if it doesnt works

Hi Seenu,

Thanks again for guiding me, but I am still on the same platform . till not I am not sure about navigating form parent to child is a window, or a frame.  I went through the HTML but not able to recognize it properly. but by following example avail online, i believe it is a browser window on which I am unable to pass the control.

When the child window open, then execution stops if I do some action on child window then only the execution continue and get out put in console which I have sent you earlier.
