SELENIUM Handle Multiple Windows using selenium Switch command

Handle Multiple Windows using selenium:

Selenium WebDriver provides an alphanumeric ID for each window as soon as the WebDriver object is given instantiated.

This unique alphanumeric ID is called window handle id in Selenium.

This unique ID uses to switch control between multiple windows.

In simple words, each unique window has a unique ID, so that selenium can differentiate when it is switching from one window to another.

GetWindowHandle Command:

Purpose: To get the window handle of the current window. Store current window ID into String object.

When we handle to Window first time we have need to store current window because of after perform any operation we need to switch back into parent window.

String  handle= driver.getWindowHandle();

1	String handle= driver.getWindowHandle();

GetWindowHandles Command:

Purpose: To get the window handle of all the currently open windows.

Store all currently open windows into String Set. Store all window’s to perform operations on different tab’s at a time.

Set&lt;String&gt; handle= driver.getWindowHandles();

1	Set<String> handle= driver.getWindowHandles();

SwitchTo Window Command:

Purpose: WebDriver supports moving between named windows using the “switchTo” method.

Switch WebDriver control between one Window to Another. To perform operations on windows we have need to switch between multiple tabs.

driver.switchTo().window("windowName");

1	driver.switchTo().window("windowName");

Alternatively, you can pass a “window handle” to the “switchTo().window()” method to switch between multiple window’s. It is possible to iterate over every open window like this:

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

driver.switchTo().window(handle);

}

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

driver.switchTo().window(handle);

}

SwitchTo Frame Command:

Purpose: WebDriver can be move between named frames using the “switchTo” method from one frame to other. Go through in Details SwitchToFrame click on this Link:

driver.switchTo().frame("frame_Name");

1	driver.switchTo().frame("frame_Name");

Scenarios of Switch one window to other window:

Current window location store into Parent Window string.

Click some link that opens a new window.

Store newly open window into Child Window using getWindowHandles.

Switch to Newly open window using switchTo().

Code to do something on new window.

Close newly opened window when done with it.

switch back to the Parent window.

Example of Handle Newly open Window:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Window_Handle {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\geckodriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://www.stqatools.com");

// Current window location store into Parent Window string.
String parentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Click some link that opens a new window.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='window_path']")).click();

// Store newly open window into Child Window using getWindowHandles.
for (String childWindow : driver.getWindowHandles()) {

// Switch to Newly open window using switchTo().
driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);

}

// Close newly opened window when done with it.
driver.close();

// switch back to the Parent window.
driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

}

}

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Window_Handle {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\geckodriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://www.stqatools.com");

// Current window location store into Parent Window string.

String parentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Click some link that opens a new window.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='window_path']")).click();

// Store newly open window into Child Window using getWindowHandles.

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

// Switch to Newly open window using switchTo().

driver.switchTo().window(childWindow);

}

// Close newly opened window when done with it.

driver.close();

// switch back to the Parent window.

driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

}
