How to switch window using selenium webdriver

Hello

Today we will be learning how we can switch a window in selenium webdriver from one window to another.

For this we use a java code

                                     driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

where parentWindow is a parameter that is passed as a String in which the path of parent window is stored.To save a parent window path or a window path we use

                                   String parentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle().toString();

By using this we can switch window in selenium webdriver.We can switch to multiple window by saving the path of each window in a String and then passing it as a parameter in window() function

Script for switching window

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class SwitchWin 

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("any website name");

String parentWindow = driver.getWindowHandle().toString();

driver.findElement(By.name("click")).click();

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

driver.close();

driver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

driver.close();

}

}
