Problems when I tried to maximize window with Firefox 7 and webdriver 2.8

[Moises Siles]

Hello guys,

I'm using the following code to maximize my window

((IJavaScriptExecutor)webDriver).ExecuteScript("if (window.screen){window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);};");

That code was working fine under FF 3.6 and Firefox 6 and webdriver 2.7

Today I updated the dlls to 2.8 and also I updated my browser to firefox 7

After that my code to maximize the window is not working, I didn't get errors when the js is executed..... is there other way to achieve that.

Regards

Appears that FF7 doesn't allow window.resizeTo nor window.moveTo ... 

Looks like you should be able to override it with the setting "dom.disable_window_move_resize" ... but true and false both act the same for me (win7)... bug in FF7?

mmmm, I think I didn't get it :S

Where should I put this "dom.disable_window_move_resize"

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

[Luke Inman-Semerau]

It's in about:config 

There's a way to set it on startup, I think with a FirefoxProfile. 

I was just trying manually with no success.

Ok... I think figured this one out...

Due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541

You are no longer allowed to resize the "main" window in firefox7.

Here's a potential work around, I'll write it in python everyone else can translate:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

handles = set(driver.window_handles)

driver.execute_script("window.open('about:blank');")

driver.switch_to_window((set(driver.window_handles) - x).pop())

driver.execute_script("window.resizeTo(500, 500);") # or whatever you want to do, like resize to the max

[Kfir Harel]

Thanks Luke!
Can someone translate to Java please?

    public void maximize(){

        String script = "if (window.screen){window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);};";

        ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(script);

    }

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan,

I'm afraid this won't work anymore.
As Luke wrote: "You are no longer allowed to resize the "main" window in firefox7"
I'm looking for a Java translation of Luke's perl code solution

Thanks

[Luke Inman-Semerau]

Adapting Krishnan's solution for the FF7 issue, in Java it would become:

public void maximize(){

  Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();
  String script = "if (window.screen){var win = window.open(window.location); win.moveTo(0,0);win.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);};";
  ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(script);
  Set<String> newHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
  newHandles.removeAll(handles);
  driver.switchTo().window(newHandles.iterator().next());

}

P.S. the original code was Python (not Perl)

Hi Luke

I'm trying to do that in C#, but I don't understand what you mean with Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();

Regards

[Luke Inman-Semerau]

The C# equivalent line is (somewhere close to):

ReadOnlyCollection<string> handles = driver.WindowHandles;

[Moises Siles]

Thanks, I think I found it......

System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<string> handles = webDriver.WindowHandles;

Now I'm dealing with the 
removeAll and the iterator

I can't found those methods

:S

When I execute your method I receive two Firefox browser windows.  Can you please tell me why?  My code is below:

FirefoxProfile profile= new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
maximize();

[Luke Inman-Semerau]

You are getting two windows because the bug is the main (first) window is not allowed to be resized in FF7. So the work-around is to popup a new window and resize it. That code switches to the new window so you can just continue your test as normal, just be sure to call driver.quit() at the end to close all windows :)

is there a plan to fix the "problem" with two browsers?

[Moises Siles]

I think the problem is not related to webdriver, I think Luke said in one of the previous email that this is a FF issue
