switch window using handle in python

[dolunay]

Hello:

How do I switch windows using handles? switch_to_window() does not
work since it needs name. [self.execute(Command.SWITCH_TO_WINDOW,
{'name': window_name})]

#webdriver.__version__
#'2.11.0'
b=webdriver.Firefox()
b.current_window_handle
u'{fe621e9c-b0b4-4649-9b90-16badf98f6e9}'
hs = b.window_handles

Then ??

Thanks.

If you have more than one window and you switch to one of the other ones

s = set(b.window_handles)
s.remove(b.current_window_handle)
b.switch_to_window(s.pop())

Thanks for your answer. However, I get the following error after using
swithc_to_window

Any ideas?

I'm assuming you are using selenium 2.8-2.12. Can you verify the
version of selenium that you are using? Grab the latest version of
selenium if your version is within the mentioned version numbers.

[Luke Inman-Semerau]

Can you let me know what browser version / os / selenium version you are using and a url or sample html that reproduces this?

[dolunay]

I had both 2.11 and 2.12 selenium on different machines. I installed
2.14 and don't see that issue.

Luke and Kenneth: Thank you for your time.
