Sometimes there might be a situations where you need to test the application by changing the windows size or you need to see what is the current size of the window where the page is rendered. Selenium provides certain methods to deal with such situations. Lets see some of the common methods used.
The method driver.manage().window().minimize() minimizes the current window if it is not already minimized.
The method driver.manage().window().maximize() maximizes the current window if it is not already maximized
The method driver.manage().window().fullscreen() fullscreen the current window if it is not already fullscreen
The method driver.manage().window().getSize() get the size of the current window. This will return the outer window dimension.
The method driver.manage().window().setSize() set the size of the current window. This will change the outer window dimension.
Following example covers all the above method implementation.
Java
C#
Python
Javascript
Kotlin
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/demo/browsers/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
driver.manage().window().minimize();
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
Dimension winSize = driver.manage().window().getSize();
System.out.println("Width : " + winSize.width + ", Height : " + winSize.height);
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(400,600));
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.Url = "http://localhost:8080/demo/browsers/";
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.Manage().Window.Minimize();
driver.Manage().Window.FullScreen();
Size winSize = driver.Manage().Window.Size;
Console.WriteLine("Width : " + winSize.Width + ", Height : " + winSize.Height);
driver.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(400, 600);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.Quit();
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/demo/browsers/")
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.minimize_window()
driver.fullscreen_window()
winSize = driver.get_window_size()
print("Width : " + winSize.get("width") + ", Height : " + winSize.get("height"))
driver.set_window_size(400,600)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.quit()
let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
await driver.get("http://localhost:8080/demo/browser/");
await driver.manage().setTimeouts({ implicit: 30000 });
await driver.manage().window().maximize();
await driver.manage().window().minimize();
await driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
let winSize = await driver.manage().window().getSize();
console.log("Width : " + winSize.width + ", Height : " + winSize.height);
await driver.manage().window().setSize(400,600);
await driver.manage().window().maximize();
await driver.quit();
val driver: WebDriver = ChromeDriver()
driver["http://localhost:8080/demo/browsers/"]
driver.manage().window().maximize()
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
driver.manage().window().minimize()
driver.manage().window().fullscreen()
val winSize: Dimension = driver.manage().window().size
println(("Width : " + winSize.width) + ", Height : " + winSize.height)
driver.manage().window().size = Dimension(400, 600)
driver.manage().window().maximize()
driver.quit()
Handling windows is a crucial aspect of Selenium automation, especially when dealing with web applications that involve multiple browser windows or tabs. Selenium provides methods in the WebDriver interface to handle window management scenarios.
To get the handle of the current window, selenium uses getWindowHandle() method of WebDriver interface
To get handles of all currently open windows, selenium uses getWindowHandles() method of WebDriver interface. This will return a set of strings.
To switch to a specific window using its handle, driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle) is used. It will switch the focus of future commands for this driver to the window with the given handle. If the handle or window does not exist, it will throw NoSuchWindowException.
The method getCurrentUrl() is used to get the current URL that the browser is looking at.
The method getTitle() of WebDriver will return the title of the current page, with leading and trailing whitespace stripped, or null if one is not already set.
The method close() is used to close the current window, quitting the browser if it's the last window currently open.
Let's see the implementation of these methods in the following example.
Java
C#
Python
Javascript
Kotlin
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://loalhost:8080/demo/browsers/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(30));

String firstWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
//Click on link to open second window
driver.findElement(By.id("page2Link")).click();
//Getting all opened window handles
Set<String> allOpenWindowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
//Looping through all window handles to switch to new window handle
for (String windowHandle : allOpenWindowHandles)
{
if(!windowHandle.equals(firstWindowHandle))
{
driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
break;
}
}
//Getting title of new window
String page2Title = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println(page2Title);
//Getting new window url
String page2Url = driver.getCurrentUrl();
System.out.println(page2Url);
//Closing the new window
driver.close();
//switching back to first window
driver.switchTo().window(firstWindowHandle);
driver.quit();
