i have created a selenium script in maven java, it opens a website and do some tasks, and sometimes it opens Firefox in one more new window automatically. so i want to handle such situation by closing all windows of Firefox. as you know driver.close(); will only close one focused window, so i replaced driver.close(); with driver.dispose(); to close all Firefox windows but it shows error in eclipse
The method dispose() is undefined for the type WebDriver
and i think no need to add my code here, because my question is how can i close all windows of Firefox? or how to use driver.dispose() ? Thanks
Use the .quit() method instead:
void quit()
Quits this driver, closing every associated window.
driver.quit();
Use close if you want to close just the current window or quit to closing every window associated to the driver.

I'm Trying to save a Html Page using Selenium script in java which perform following operations
open the web page.
fire a right click event.
click on save as html option.
Now problem is when script click on save as html option it shows a pop-up to save html.
I already set default option for download in Firefox but when i run the script it keep showing me pop-up again and again what i need is:-
when Firefox shows a save as dialog box then it'll fire an enter event so that it can save html by using Selenium script.
Robot class in java might help you. Check this link as well.
Here is a sample code:
// Create object of Robot class<br>
Robot object=new Robot();
// Press Enter<br>
object.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
// Release Enter<br>
object.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
Window pop ups cant be handled by Selenium.So you can go for follwing options : -
(1) Java Robot Class
(2) Sikuli [Recommended]
(3) AutoIt
These are 3rd party tools used to handle window based pop ups.
Accepting confirmation popups in Selenium can be handled via Alert object (assuming driver instance is ready):
Alert myAlert = driver.switchTo().alert();
myAlert.accept();
Use autoit
download the autoit exe
record clicking of that button
Use the code and execute it via JS executor
Dont forget to place the code before you are actually executing the step
not after executing it
Please switch to windows dialogs first using get window handles eg. Save As
Then, use Robot commands to send Enter key.
It will save the file.
I am trying to get Selenium WebDriver to find and use a browser window that is already open before the script executes. I am writting in Java.
I am using selenium-server 2.37.0 and the browser is IE8. I am open to using the Chrome browser as well.
Anyway, I have tried opening a driver instance and then looking for the window handles in the usual way (Set handles = driver.getWindowHandles();) but this only finds the hadle of the window that the driver opened. I have also just tried to switchTo the window by the window cannot be found.
The reason I want to use a pre-opened window is because when I execute my script, for some reason the browser won't let it click a link (It may be because the link is to an https address and sends a username and a token). When the script finishes the webpage won't respond to me manually clicking the link either.
I am able to manualy navigate to the link and click it the link works fine, so my thinking is that I can navigate to the page that I want and then kick of the scripts from there, but I need the webdriver to use this browser window that I used.
I cannot navigate the to link directly with Selenium because the link resided behind a secure server. I have to log in first then click the link and this is where I am having the problem.
Unfortunately, as of 2.37.1 (December 2013), it cannot be done.
There is an official feature request for this in the Selenium project (and it's even the most starred one), but it has not been done yet.
You can identify a browser window by windowHandle and switch between several Windows while testing.
You can print out all existing windowHandles (in your case it might be one) and then access it.
This solution worked for me (using Selenium 3.4.0):
Object[] handles = driver.getWindowHandles().toArray();
String windowHandle = handles[0]+"";
driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
After switching to your browser window you should be able to continue your test.
It relys on correctness of your webdriver- if you opened an Edge window the driver you use should be an EdgeDriver.
I am looking for how to open selenium webdriver in a new tab of a firefox already opened. I aim to do that beacause when my java program (webdriver) open firefox, i have to set profile params in my program. To do this, i must every time log on in a dialog frame, because i have installed cntlm.
In short, I want to open firefox in a new tab.
Thaks a lot!
Please watch this Selenium feature ticket for progress.
Issue 18: Allow webdriver to attach to a running browser
Your summary "In short, I want to open firefox in a new tab." is ambiguous and confusing, if you are looking for how to open new tab, see this question.
I am facing a strange issue with is not consistent, no trend observed. Whenever I run my webdriver code (see below)
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
A driver/browser window opens up and the actions/steps go on as per my code but strangely, only sometimes an extra window opens up and follows same code/instructions.
My code prints/logs success/fail messages to console and I could see those messages only once even an extra browser window follows my code. And with the single driver.quit() command both the windows disappear.
I am using Firefox driver with Eclipse IDE driven by Java Client library.
Could anyone explain what happening with my code?
I'm testing web application with Selenium Webdriver (IE). After signing off, application closes the browser, but quiting the webdriver cause crash popup for IEDriverServer.exe which hangs the flow.
Is there's a way to unload the IEDriverServer.exe after browser was closed?
You can handle this in various ways. One logic i can think of is to do getWindowHandles() and call driver.quit() based on the window count. In your case after logoff it will be null.
I had this problem with an earlier version, which version are you using? There may be a newer version of IEServerDriver than what you have. I placed mine in a directory that I then added to system PATH and have no troubles with Chromedriver or IEServerDriver.
Don't know exact solution but, for Workaround, you can try this out :
use driver.close()
If first option doesn't work then open the browser once again and use driver.quit() or driver.close().
