How to Open a New Tab in Browser Using Selenium WebDriver with Java Updated: December 2, 2018 - Amir Ghahrai Quite often you may want to open a new tab in the same browser window that is running your Selenium WebDriver tests. Question: How to open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver with Java? Answer: After click on any link open new tab. If we want to handle newly open tab then we have need to handle tab using.switchTo.window command. Switch to particular tab then perform operation and switch back to into parent tab. This will set focus to newly or last opened tab or window, and after completion of use of this new tab/window just use this to close that tab/window. Browser.windows.last.close Or if you want switch back to previous tab/window, you will be able to find the window by:title,:url, or:index.

In this tutorial, we will learn about different types of alert found in web application Testing and how to handle Alert in Selenium WebDriver. We will also see how do we accept and reject the alert depending upon the alert types.

In this tutorial, you will learn-

What is Alert?

Alert is a small message box which displays on-screen notification to give the user some kind of information or ask for permission to perform certain kind of operation. It may be also used for warning purpose.

Here are few alert types:

1) Simple Alert

This simple alert displays some information or warning on the screen.

2) Prompt Alert.

This Prompt Alert asks some input from the user and selenium webdriver can enter the text using sendkeys(' input…. ').

3) Confirmation Alert.

This confirmation alert asks permission to do some type of operation.

How to handle Alert in Selenium WebDriver

Alert interface provides the below few methods which are widely used in Selenium Webdriver.

1) void dismiss() // To click on the 'Cancel' button of the alert.

2) void accept() // To click on the 'OK' button of the alert.

3) String getText() // To capture the alert message.

4) void sendKeys(String stringToSend) // To send some data to alert box.

You can see a number of Alert methods are displayed as shown in below screen suggested by Eclipse.

We can easily switch to alert from the main window by using Selenium's .switchTo() method.

Now we automate the given below scenario.

In this scenario, we will use Guru99 demo site to illustrate Selenium Alert handling.

Step 1) Launch the web browser and open the site 'http://demo.guru99.com/test/delete_customer.php '

Step 2) Enter Any Customer id.

Step 3) After entering the customer ID, Click on the 'Submit' button.

Step 4) Reject/accept the alert.

Handling Alert in Selenium Webdriver using above scenario

Output :

When you execute the above code, it launches the site. Try to delete Customer ID by handling confirmation alert that displays on the screen, and thereby deleting customer id from the application.

How to handle Selenium Pop-up window using Webdriver

In automation, when we have multiple windows in any web application, the activity may need to switch control among several windows from one to other in order to complete the operation. After completion of the operation, it has to return to the main window i.e. parent window. We will see this further in the article with an example.

In selenium web driver there are methods through which we can handle multiple windows.

Driver.getWindowHandles();

To handle all opened windows by web driver, we can use 'Driver.getWindowHandles()' and then we can switch window from one window to another in a web application. Its return type is Iterator<String>.

Driver.getWindowHandle();

When the site opens, we need to handle the main window by driver.getWindowHandle(). This will handle the current window that uniquely identifies it within this driver instance. Its return type is String.

To handle multiple windows in Selenium WebDriver, We follow the following steps.

Now, we will automate the given below scenario to see how to handle multiple windows using Selenium Webdriver.

In this scenario, we will use 'Guru99' demo site to illustrate window handling.

Step 1) Launch the site.

Launch the browser and open the site ' http://demo.guru99.com/popup.php '

Step 2) Click on link 'Click Here '.

When the user clicks on the ' Click Here ' link, new child window opens.

Step 3) New Child Window opens.

A new window opens, ask the user to enter email id and submit the page.

Step 4) Enter your email ID and submit.

Step 5) Display the Access Credentials on submitting the page.

When you execute the code, you will see the child window is open in new tab.

1. Close the Child window on which credentials are displayed.

2. Switch to the parent window.

Handling multiple windows in selenium webdriver using above scenario.

Output:

When you execute the above code, it launches the site and on clicking the link 'Click here,' it opens up a child window in a new tab. You can close the child window, and switch to the parent window once the operation is completely done. Hence handling more than one window in the application.

Conclusion:

• We defined the types of alert and shown them with a screen shot.
• Demonstrated handling the Alert with Selenium WebDriver using particular scenario.
• Handled multiple windows with Selenium WebDriver using particular scenario.

I checked with below code and it works fine for me. I found answer from here.

Abdul HameedAbdul Hameed

this below code works for me in Selenium 3 and chrome version 58.

I have tried other techniques, but none of them worked, also no error produced, but when I have used the code below, it worked for me.

First open empty new Tab by using the keys Ctrl + t and then use .get() to fetch the URL you want. Your code should look something like this -

If you want to open a link on the current view in a new tab then the code you've written above can be used. Instead of By.linkText() make sure you use the appropriate By selector class to select the web element.

I had used the below code to open a new tab in the browser using C# selenium..

Styx

If you can get the link element you can use this. It will also take you to the tab that you have opened.

Selenium can only automate on the WebElements of the browser. Opening a new tab is an operation performed on the webBrowser which is a stand alone application. For doing this you can make use of the Robot class from the java.util.* package which can perform operations using the keyboard regardless of what type of application it is. So here's the code for your operation.Note that you cannot automate stand alone applications using the Robot class but you can perform keyboard or mouse operations

After this step you will need a window iterator to switch to the new tab:

You can open multiple browser or a window by using below code:
