Test the Handle Window handles are unique identifiers that contain a string and are used to identify each browser tab or window. Selenium WebDriver uses these windows and tabs to communicate with the web page. This assists in identifying elements of the webpage, navigating between different browser windows window types, parent and child windows and even interacting with pop-up windows. It is crucial to utilize the window handle when testing browser tabs and windows. The script will then be able to get a list all the tabs and windows on the page. The script can then change to the window that it prefers by identifying the handle. This is especially useful when testing websites on different desktop, mobile and tablets devices. In this article, we'll make use of a method called getWindowHandles() to find all the window handles that are currently open in the web browser. It is part of the Collection framework in Java and returns an array of windows that can be switched to. Once the list has been retrieved and you are able to make use of it to identify the window that requires replacement. The handle of the new window will be placed in the existing window and the test will be run again. To complete this task, find an element by using a locator, such as ID or XPath. Then send the window handle for the new window by sending an event to the Driver object. The Driver object will utilize a loop until it finds the proper window handle. Then, it will check the title of the new window to confirm that it's the correct one. If the window handle passed to the Driver object is incorrect or not available, a NoSuchWindowException will be raised by the test script. This error could be due to the fact that the window isn't yet loading or because there are incompatibilities between the Driver and the new window. You can avoid this by adding an Explicit Wait using Expected conditions to ensure that the window is fully loaded prior to interaction with it.
