Selenium: When the page is open in a new tab, is it possible to continue testing on a new page?

• Yes, you can check on new pages opened from the current window.

• Suppose you click on the menu, it will open the page in a new window. Your driver object will have access to the current page and the newly opened page as a window handle (or window ID). We can get this window handle and switch driver control to any page using a handle.

To get the current handle to the window that the driver is controlling, we can use

String currentWindowHandle= driver.getWindowHandle();

      

        
        
        
      

    

This returns a handle to the current window that uniquely identifies it in this driver instance. This can be used to switch to the current window at a later stage.

To get all windows the driver can access use

Set<String> allWindowHandles=driver.getWindowHandles();

      

        
        
        
      

    

This returns a set of window handles that can be used to iterate over all open windows.

Then we just iterate over the set

    Iterator iter = allWindowHandles.iterator();
        while (iter.hasNext()) {
    String windowHandle=iter.next();//get window handle from set
            System.out.println(windowHandle);//this will print uique window handle id
        driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);// switch driver control to window having this handle id.
        // Get window title or url etc. and check whether it matches your expected page title.
//If yes, then you have navigated to correct page and then you can continue working on this page.
        if(driver.getTitle().equals("New Menu page title"))
        //then break the loop as you have got required page access.
        break;
        }
