How to Multiple Window Handling in Selenium WebDriver?

Switch to Multiple Window || Window Handling In Selenium Example Program: How to Switch to Multiple Window Using Java Selenium Program?

In today’s post, we are going to discuss one of the common scenarios which you may face during the interview that is appearing in multiple windows when you click on some elements on a web page.

Sometimes the focus is still on the current browser, but when you try to do some operation, it will not work, and you will get some errors. You are getting such errors because the selenium webdriver is not able to uniquely identify the opened browser.

This is happening because when we open any browser window that time selenium webdriver assigns a unique value to that window for uniquely identify that window, but when multiple windows are opens that time selenium webdriver is not able to locate the browser window.

To Handle multiple browser windows, Selenium webdriver interface provides two methods, that are:

• getWindowHandle(): This method will return a string value of the current parent browsers window handle.
• getWindowHandles(): This method will return a set of all windows handles that are open in that session.

With these two methods, we can use the switchTo() method to switch from one window to another window by providing the different window handle.
