Maximize browser window

[Attila]

Hi,

Is there a method in WebDrive I could use to maximize the browser
window after the browser was started?

Thank you,

Attila

The WebDriver API doesn't provide one directly, but you can achieve it
using JavaScript.

((JavaScriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("if (window.screen)
{window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,
window.screen.availHeight);};");

This is exactly what we do for WebDriverBackedSelenium (see
#windowMaximize()):

It works :)

Thank you,

Attila

DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.opera()

caps.setCapability("opera.arguments", "-nowin -nomail -fullscreen");

 

return new OperaDriver(caps)

Maximizing a window is a function of the operating system. WebDriver exists INSIDE the chrome of the web browser. In other words, the concept of maximizing the window is not a web browser feature, it is an operating system feature. It actually does not even exist on Mac OS X. So it would be specific to the Windows operating system.

If you are using RemoteWebDriver you are limited to WebDriver. If you are using a local WebDriver, i.e. web browser is on the same machine as the WebDriver client code, then you can use native code to maximize the window. That is, go outside of the commands in the WebDriver jar files and just maximize the window.

Hi Lukus,

I have tried all the solutions which you have mentioned in your post.

unfortunately none of the solution worked for me .

Reasons being.

The solution 1 which worked for IE and all but Opera it's not working.( moveTo(0,0) in Opera, results in moving the window to the top left corner of the browser, not the screen )

The solution 2 i can't use , as i am working with Dotnet , there is no such class exist.

The solution 3 will is throwing an exception.

The solution 4 will only works for a Chrome browser.
