Maximize Browser in Selenium Webdriver

[sanam]

Hi,

      To maximize the browser in Selenium Webdriver, there seems to be no direct way. I looked through many forums and they all suggested to execute js code.

Is there any better way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Sanam

if java .
driver.manage().window().setsize is your method .

I dont think that method is implemented for all browsers. The last I heard on that, was that it was an experimental feature that was being implemented only for firefox. I might be wrong too.

Thanks & Regards

Hi 

@ Krishnan  Based on your discussion in  different post thread i tried the command line argument for starting Chrome in maximized code..However it throws an exception

@Selenium_freak - I have used that method currently, i observed that if the window is completely minimized then it works fine, however if the window is resized say manually and made smaller, then the above code doesnt maximize it to the fullest but just changes the dimentions.

The code is as below:

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

Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

   Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int)

toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int)

toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());

driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

Thanks,

Sanam

Hi

another thing i forgot to mention that  driver.manage().window().setsize  only works for ff and not for ie

[sanam]

@krishnan..

The command line arguments for Chrome is working fine. It was a silly mistake from my end. 

Thanks,

Sanam

[selenium_freak]

Hi,

       To maximize browser, a new api is introduced in selenium webdriver 2.21. 

       driver.manage().window().maximize().

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Sanam

You should look at this post http://www.selenium-testing.com/2012/04/webdriver-maximize-browser-window-in.html
In selenium version 2.21 maximize() command has been added.

       driver.manage().window().maximize().

Note: This works only in Firefox and IE

Thanks
