Selenium WebDriver – Handle Window Focus

Method and Description:

• getWindowHandle() - Return an opaque handle to this window that uniquely identifies it within this driver instance.
• getWindowHandles() - Return a set of window handles which can be used to iterate over all open windows of this WebDriver instance by passing them to switchTo().WebDriver.Options.window()

 

Example:

• Below example opens a page of w3schools.com
• And then clicks on ‘Try it yourself »’ link, which opens a new window.
• Switch to new window, perform some actions on it and then switch back to previous window

	package com.example.tests;
	import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
	import org.openqa.selenium.By;
	import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
	import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
	import org.testng.annotations.AfterSuite;
	import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;
	import org.testng.annotations.Test;
	public class ChangeWindowFocusExample {
	private WebDriver driver;
	@BeforeSuite
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
	driver = new FirefoxDriver();
	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
	}
	@AfterSuite
	public void tearDown() throws Exception {
	driver.quit();
	}
	@Test
	public void testMethod() throws Exception {
	driver.get("http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp");
	// get an opaque handle to current window that uniquely identifies it within this driver instance.
	String currentwindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
	//click on Try it yourself » link, it will open in new window
	driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(@class,'tryitbtn')]")).click();
	//Now we have multiple windows, so get all windows handler and switch focus to non current window
	for (String windownHandler : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
	if (!windownHandler.equals(currentwindow))
	System.out.println("Switching to new window: " + windownHandler);
	//switch to new window
	driver.switchTo().window(windownHandler);
	}
	//maximize the new window to verify focus
	driver.manage().window().maximize();
	//open any url
	driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
	//close current window
	driver.close();
	//switch to previous window
	driver.switchTo().window(currentwindow);
	//open any url to verify focus
	driver.get("http://www.w3schools.com/");
	}
	}
