Selenium WebDriver – Open a link in a new Window

We can use Action class to open a link in a new window.

Method and Description:

• contextClick(WebElement onElement) - Performs a context-click at middle of the given element.
• perform()- A convenience method for performing the actions without calling build() first.
• sendKeys(java.lang.CharSequence... keysToSend) - Sends keys to the active element.

 

Example:

Below example opens w3schools.com

And click on “Learn HTML” link to open in new 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.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
	import org.testng.annotations.AfterSuite;
	import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;
	import org.testng.annotations.Test;
	public class OpenLinkInNewWindowExample {
	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(){
	driver.get("http://www.w3schools.com/");
	Actions action = new Actions(driver);
	action.contextClick(driver.findElement(By.linkText("Learn HTML"))).perform();
	action.sendKeys("w").perform();
	}
	}
