How to open incognito window from current instance?

I have a situation where I need to open a link incognito window from another url.
I have tried by using action class to perform control shift n key events but it's not working.
Robot class working fine but I'm looking for other alternative.
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act. KeyDown(Keys.cONTROL);
act.keyDown(Keys.SHIFT);
act.keyDown("n").build(). perform ();
But it's not working

In case you want to open a new window in incognito mode i.e. without cookies you can simply open a regular new Selenium driver new window and the to clear the cookies with the following command:
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

Windows handling in Selenium webdriver using java

I have a scenario as below
1. Login to the application
2. click on a button (say Buy)
3. This will take me to a new window opened with a new URL automatically
4. Perform actions in the new window
5. Quit
Kindly please provide the exact code to work on this. I tried with the available code that exists in the website which didnt work for me

You can try on following pattern:-
Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("URL of application");
driver.findElement(By.id("username").sendKeys("user1");
driver.findElement(By.id("password").sendKeys("pass1");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xPath("xpath of button").click();
//now you can switch to pop-up and accordingly accept or dismiss it
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
driver.quit();
In case you provide the SO community the URL of application then only complete code can be provided.

Selenium- After click a link,IE opens two windows instead of one window

I'm working on the secured web application. When I click link within frame, it opened another single window where information to be filled.But when I execute this scenario in selenium, it click the link within frame and system display two windows where window1 shows Blank page with title as "Blank Page- window internet explorer' and window2 shows website security certificate with no title.
When I'm doing manually, it showing single window but during automation, it shows two windows.
Note: Application support only IE10.
script:
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","./tools/IEDriverServer_32.exe");
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(caps);
driver.get(url);
driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");
Login the application and next step to click link
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//table[#id='maintable']//a").click();
Please help me on this.

I encountered the exact same issue in IE 10..The issue appears to be resolved when I am setting "nativeEvents" to true using the DesiredCapabilities Class. You may try the same and let us know if it also works for you. Please find code segments for your reference:
DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability("nativeEvents", true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);
The 2nd Line seems to do the trick.

The below solution worked
Modifying the registry value , TabProcGrowth to 0 solved the issue-
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
TabProcGrowth (right-click) → Modify… → Value data: 0

which version of selenium jar are you using. Try below code...
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","./tools/IEDriverServer_32.exe"); WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get(url); driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()‌​");
if this not works.... last option, please Reinstall IE and problme will be fixed.

Cannot click element with IEDriverServer

I have an element on a web page that only becomes visible after clicking its parent element. So after clicking a demo in a list of demo's, a row of icons which represent actions for the selected demo is revealed. The following code works fine with both webdriver and chromedriver:
demo.click(); //click demo
waitForElementIsDisplayed(demoReservation_btn); //wait until reservation icon is displayed
demoReservation_btn.click(); //click icon
Originally i was getting a StaleElementReferenceException and i attempted to fix this by having a try/catch block within a while loop that would continue looping until the icon was clicked. This caused IEDriverServer to crash after a couple of loops.
I have also tried wrapping it up in an Action like so:
Action action = new Action(driver);
action.click(demo).click(demoReservation_btn).build().perform()
This results in a NoSuchElementException.
I know there are some problems mentioned in the documentation about browser focus and hovering over elements, but i dont believe this is the problem. I have tried a couple of other things like adding moverToElement to the action, hovering over the element but have had no success with these. I believe one possible solution is to use a javascript executor, but i would like to avoid this approach if possible, any other suggestions?
EDIT
IEDriverServer setup:
File file = new File("IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
return driver;

Try disabling Native events of IE
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
cap.setCapability("nativeEvents",false);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
I had better result using that in C# version. Read this to learn why you may need to do this.

Make Selenium Webdriver Stop Loading the page if the desired element is already loaded?

I am creating a test and having some issues. Here is the scenario. I use Selenium Web driver to fill out a form on Page1 and submit the form by clicking a button. Page2 starts loading... but the problem is, Page2 uses Google Analytics codes, and sometimes it takes forever for the page to stop loading.
Even though the expected element is already present, Selenium web driver does not proceed until the whole web page is fully loaded.
How do I make Selenium to move on to the next task or stop loading external javascript/css if the expected element is already present?
I tried tweaking the following settings but no luck.
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Scroll below for answer!

Give below approaches a shot.
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys("Keys.ESCAPE");
or
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return window.stop");
Alternatively, you can also use WebDriverBackedSelenium as shown in the snippet below from Vincent Bouvier.
//When creating a new browser:
WebDriver driver = _initBrowser(); //Just returns firefox WebDriver
WebDriverBackedSelenium backedSelenuium =
new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver,"about:blank");
//This code has to be put where a TimeOut is detected
//I use ExecutorService and Future<?> Object
void onTimeOut()
{
backedSelenuium.runScript("window.stop();");
}

So, I reported to Selenium about these issues. And the temporary workaround is... messing with Firefox's timeout settings. Basically by default Firefox waits about 250 seconds for each connection before timing you out. You can check about:config for the details. Basically I cranked it down so Firefox doesn't wait too long and Selenium can continue as if the page has already finished loading :P.
Similar config might exist for other browsers. I still think Selenium should let us handle the pagetimeout exception. Make sure you add a star to the bug here: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6867&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary, so selenium fixes these issues.
FirefoxBinary firefox = new FirefoxBinary(new File("/path/to/firefox.exe"));
FirefoxProfile customProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
customProfile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
customProfile.setPreference("network.http.connection-timeout", 10);
customProfile.setPreference("network.http.connection-retry-timeout", 10);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefox, customProfile);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

Once you have checked for the element and you know that it is present, you could either navigate to/load a different page (if the next tasks are on a different page) or if the tasks are on the same page (as you anyway do not need the elements that have not yet loaded), you could continue as usual - selenium will identify the elements which have already been loaded. This works for me when I work with feature rich pages.

Instead of using the webdriver click() to submit the form use jsexecutor and do a click. Jsexecutor does not wait for page load and you can with other actions.

As per the above scenario explained i feel its best to use the below wait command in the first page.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id(>someid>)));
Once the required element is found in the first page next you can proceed to the second page.

Use explicit/webdriver wait----
WebDriverWait wt=new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wt.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.name("abc")));
