Capture upload file size in Selenium WebDriver

Is it possible if I want to capture the file size after I uploaded the files using Selenium WebDriver? Btw I'm using Java. Currently I'm following this one tutorial & here's the code:
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class upload {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","webdriver location");
String baseUrl = "http://demo.guru99.com/test/upload/";
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
WebElement uploadElement = driver.findElement(By.id("uploadfile_0"));
// enter the file path onto the file-selection input field
uploadElement.sendKeys("file location");
// check the "I accept the terms of service" check box
driver.findElement(By.id("terms")).click();
// click the "UploadFile" button
driver.findElement(By.name("send")).click();
}
}
I want to print the file size output in console. May I know is this action is possible or not? Thanks.

Do you mean something like this? It prints the size of the file uploaded prior to uploading.
import java.io.File;
String fileName = "C:/users/something.txt";
File f = new File(fileName);
long fileSize = f.length();
System.out.format("The size of the file: %d bytes", fileSize);

Download a file generated from a FORM, with Selenium and PhantomJS

This might be the thousand question about the same topic, and I'm sorry for that. Others answers are not updated because most of them are old now, others simply are for other languages.
I'm trying to download a file, which is generated by compiling a html form.
So this following code would fill everything needed in the form, eventually clicking on Submit:
public void UsingPhantomjs() throws IOException{
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs();
cap.setCapability("phantomjs.binary.path","src\\main\\resources\\driver\\phantomjs.exe");
cap.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, new String[] { "--ignore-ssl-errors=true", "--local-storage-path=C:\\"});
PhantomJSDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(cap);
driver.get("https://this-website/thispage");
WebElement select1 = driver.findElementByName("list1");
Select field1 = new Select(select1);
field1.selectByIndex(1);
WebElement select2 = driver.findElementByName("list2");
Select field2 = new Select(select2);
field2.selectByIndex(1);
driver.findElement(By.id("id1")).sendKeys("26/06/2017");
driver.findElement(By.id("id2")).sendKeys("27/06/2017");
driver.findElement(By.id("id3-1")).click();
File srcFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(srcFile, new File("C:\\screenshot.png"));
driver.findElement(By.id("id5")).submit();
driver.quit();
}
I do not expect it to be as simple as submit(); and adding the local-storage-path capability, which I hoped was all it needed but it actually does not save anything.. So I'm asking you, if someone knows or have a piece of code, in Java, that is able to manage this kind of downloads.
Thank you!

capture a downloaded pdf file name with selenium webdriver

Need to capture the the file name of a PDFs which we get by clicking a download link in a URL. I've tried with this code.but, I cannot get the title or url from the second window
kindly help me out with this or suggest me any other methods to handle this...
**code I tried**
#Test
public void pdfname() throws Exception {
driver.get(baseUrl + "/english/investments/iv_funds.htm");
Set<String> winids = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> iterate = winids.iterator();
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("FUND MATERIALS")).click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.findElement(By.className("sbToggle")).click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Fund Details and Performance Update")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("fundPerformance")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("fundPerformance")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("fundPerformance")).sendKeys("AEGAU");
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='perform']")).click();
Thread.sleep(18000);
winids = driver.getWindowHandles();
iterate = winids.iterator();
String firstwindow=iterate.next();
String secondwindow = iterate.next();
System.out.println(firstwindow);
System.out.println(secondwindow);
driver.switchTo().window(secondwindow); //switch to pdf window
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println("url is"+driver.getCurrentUrl());
driver.close();
}

I think you are trying to get the name from a OS system window. Selenium does not interact with the OS. For windows you can use autoit (http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/) to interact with the OS.

How to open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver in Java?

How can I open a new tab in the existing Firefox browser using Selenium WebDriver (a.k.a. Selenium 2) in Java?

Just for anyone else who's looking for an answer in Ruby, Python, and C# bindings (Selenium 2.33.0).
Note that the actual keys to send depend on your OS. For example, Mac uses CMD + T, instead of Ctrl + T.
Ruby
require 'selenium-webdriver'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')
body = driver.find_element(:tag_name => 'body')
body.send_keys(:control, 't')
driver.quit
Python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/")
body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("body")
body.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 't')
driver.close()
C#
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
namespace StackOverflowTests {
class OpenNewTab {
static void Main(string[] args) {
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://stackoverflow.com/");
IWebElement body = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body"));
body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + 't');
driver.Quit();
}
}
}

The code below will open the link in a new tab.
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);
The code below will open an empty new tab.
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"t");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

Why not do this
driver.ExecuteScript("window.open('your url','_blank');");

To open new tab using JavascriptExecutor,
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open()");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
Will control on tab as according to index:
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
Driver control on main tab:
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0));

As of selenium >= 4.0, there is no need for javascript or send_keys workarounds. Selenium 4 provides a new API called newWindow that lets you create a new window (or tab) and automatically switches to it. Since the new window or tab is created in the same session, it avoids creating a new WebDriver object.
Python
Open new tab
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.window import WindowTypes
driver.switch_to.new_window(WindowTypes.TAB)
Open new window
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.window import WindowTypes
driver.switch_to.new_window(WindowTypes.WINDOW)
Java
Open new window
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
// Opens a new window and switches to new window
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.WINDOW);
// Opens LambdaTest homepage in the newly opened window
driver.navigate().to("https://www.lambdatest.com/");
Open new tab
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
// Opens a new window and switches to new window
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);
// Opens LambdaTest homepage in the newly opened tab
driver.navigate().to("https://www.lambdatest.com/")

You can use the following code using Java with Selenium WebDriver:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t");
By using JavaScript:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); // Firefox or any other Driver
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.open()");
After opening a new tab it needs to switch to that tab:
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));

To open a new window in Chrome Driver.
// The script that will will open a new blank window
// If you want to open a link new tab, replace 'about:blank' with a link
String a = "window.open('about:blank','_blank');";
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(a);
For switching between tabs, read here.

Almost all answers here are out of date.
(Ruby examples)
WebDriver now has support for opening tabs:
browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
new_tab = browser.manage.new_window
Will open a new tab. Opening a window has actually become the non-standard case:
browser.manage.new_window(:window)
The tab or window will not automatically be focussed. To switch to it:
browser.switch_to.window new_tab

Try this for the Firefox browser.
/* Open new tab in browser */
public void openNewTab()
{
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0));
}

To open a new tab in the existing Chrome browser using Selenium WebDriver you can use this code:
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("body")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t");
string newTabInstance = driver.WindowHandles[driver.WindowHandles.Count-1].ToString();
driver.SwitchTo().Window(newTabInstance);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);

The below code will open the link in a new window:
String selectAll = Keys.chord(Keys.SHIFT, Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("linkname")).sendKeys(selectAll);

I had trouble opening a new tab in Google Chrome for a while.
Even driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t"); didn't work for me.
I found out that it's not enough that Selenium has focus on driver. Windows also has to have the window in the front.
My solution was to invoke an alert in Chrome that would bring the window to front and then execute the command. Sample code:
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("alert('Test')");
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t");

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0));

// To open a new tab in an existing window
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t");

How can we open a new, but more importantly, how do we do stuff in that new tab?
Webdriver doesn't add a new WindowHandle for each tab, and only has control of the first tab. So, after selecting a new tab (Control + Tab Number) set .DefaultContent() on the driver to define the visible tab as the one you're going to do work on.
Visual Basic
Dim driver = New WebDriver("Firefox", BaseUrl)
' Open new tab - send Control T
Dim body As IWebElement = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("body"))
body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t")
' Go to a URL in that tab
driver.GoToUrl("YourURL")
' Assuming you have m tabs open, go to tab n by sending Control + n
body.SendKeys(Keys.Control + n.ToString())
' Now set the visible tab as the drivers default content.
driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent()

I am using Selenium 2.52.0 in Java and Firefox 44.0.2. Unfortunately none of the previous solutions worked for me.
The problem is if I a call driver.getWindowHandles() I always get one single handle. Somehow this makes sense to me as Firefox is a single process and each tab is not a separate process. But maybe I am wrong. Anyhow, I try to write my own solution:
// Open a new tab
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t");
// URL to open in a new tab
String urlToOpen = "https://url_to_open_in_a_new_tab";
Iterator<String> windowIterator = driver.getWindowHandles()
.iterator();
// I always get handlesSize == 1, regardless how many tabs I have
int handlesSize = driver.getWindowHandles().size();
// I had to grab the original handle
String originalHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.navigate().to(urlToOpen);
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
// Close the newly opened tab
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys("w").perform();
// Switch back to original
action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys("1").perform();
// And switch back to the original handle. I am not sure why, but
// it just did not work without this, like it has lost the focus
driver.switchTo().window(originalHandle);
I used the Ctrl + T combination to open a new tab, Ctrl + W to close it, and to switch back to original tab I used Ctrl + 1 (the first tab).
I am aware that mine solution is not perfect or even good and I would also like to switch with driver's switchTo call, but as I wrote it was not possible as I had only one handle. Maybe this will be helpful to someone with the same situation.

How to open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver with Java for Chrome:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.navigate().to("https://google.com");
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_T);
The above code will disable first extensions and using the robot class, a new tab will open.

This line of code will open a new browser tab using Selenium WebDriver:
((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("window.open()");

Java
I recommend using JavascriptExecutor:
Open new blank window:
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open()");
Open new window with specific URL:
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open('https://google.com')");
Following import:
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;

Check this complete example to understand how to open multiple tabs and switch between the tabs and at the end close all tabs.
public class Tabs {
WebDriver driver;
Robot rb;
#BeforeTest
public void setup() throws Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Anuja.AnujaPC\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://qaautomated.com");
}
#Test
public void openTab() {
// Open tab 2 using CTRL + T keys.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");
// Open URL In 2nd tab.
driver.get("http://www.qaautomated.com/p/contact.html");
// Call switchToTab() method to switch to the first tab
switchToTab();
// Call switchToTab() method to switch to the second tab.
switchToTab();
}
public void switchToTab() {
// Switching between tabs using CTRL + tab keys.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"\t");
// Switch to current selected tab's content.
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
}
#AfterTest
public void closeTabs() throws AWTException {
// Used Robot class to perform ALT + SPACE + 'c' keypress event.
rb = new Robot();
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
}
}

There are 3 ways to do this. In below example I am doing following steps to open the facebook in new tab,
Launching https://google.com
Searching for facebook text and getting the facebook URL
Opening facebook in different tab.
Solution#1: Using window handles.
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=facebook");
String facebookUrl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(#href,'facebook.com')])[1]")).getAttribute("href");
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.open()");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
driver.get(facebookUrl);
Solution#2: By creating new driver instance. It's not recommended but it is also a possible way to do this.
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=facebook");
String facebookUrl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(#href,'facebook.com')])[1]")).getAttribute("href");
/*Create an another instance of driver.*/
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get(facebookUrl);
Solution#3: Using Selenium 4
driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=facebook");
String facebookUrl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(#href,'facebook.com')])[1]")).getAttribute("href");
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);
driver.navigate().to(facebookUrl);

If you need to open a specific link in a new tab, you can send the shortcut directly to the link like so:
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[strong[.='English']]")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);
Here is an runnable example
If you need to open a new tab and want to choose which link is opened immediately in said tab, you can use JavaScriptExecutor like so:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.open('https://www.wikipedia.org/', '_blank');");
Here is a runnable case that uses JSE

In new versions of selenium for java, they added a method to create a new tab:
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);
or a new window:
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.WINDOW);
here is the link to an example on the official repo

To open a new tab in the existing Firefox browser using Selenium WebDriver
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL,"t");

Actions at=new Actions(wd);
at.moveToElement(we);
at.contextClick(we).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();

The same example for Node.js:
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
...
driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(capabilities).
build();
...
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(webdriver.Key.COMMAND + "t");

This code is working for me (Selenium 3.8.1, chromedriver 2.34.522940, and Chrome 63.0):
public void openNewTabInChrome() {
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Gmail"));
Actions actionOpenLinkInNewTab = new Actions(driver);
actionOpenLinkInNewTab.moveToElement(element)
.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL) // MacOS: Keys.COMMAND
.keyDown(Keys.SHIFT).click(element)
.keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).keyUp(Keys.SHIFT).perform();
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
driver.get("http://www.yahoo.com");
//driver.close();
}

Question: How can I open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver with Java?
Answer: After a click on any link, open a new tab.
If we want to handle a newly open tab then we have need to handle tab using the .switchTo().window()
command.
Switch to a particular tab, and then perform an operation and switch back to into the parent tab.
package test;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Tab_Handle {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "geckodriver_path");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
// Store all currently open tabs in Available_tabs
ArrayList<String> Available_tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
// Click on link to open in new tab
driver.findElement(By.id("Url_Link")).click();
// Switch newly open Tab
driver.switchTo().window(Available_tabs.get(1));
// Perform some operation on Newly open tab
// Close newly open tab after performing some operations.
driver.close();
// Switch to old(Parent) tab.
driver.switchTo().window(Available_tabs.get(0));
}
}

Selenium doesn't support opening new tabs. It only supports opening new windows. For all intents and purposes a new window is functionally equivalent to a new tab anyway.
There are various hacks to work around the issue, but they are going to cause you other problems in the long run.

If you want to open the new tab you can use this
((JavascriptExecutor) getDriver()).executeScript("window.open()");
If you want to open the link from the new tab you can use this
With JavascriptExecutor:
public void openFromNewTab(WebElement element){
((JavascriptExecutor)getDriver()).executeScript("window.open('"+element.getAttribute("href")+"','_blank');");
}
With Actions:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("your_xpath"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.keyDown(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL)
.click(element)
.keyUp(Keys.LEFT_CONTROL)
.build()
.perform();

Exception (org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException): using Selenium WebDriver with Java in Internet Explorer

While using IE for automation using Selenium Webdriver, I am able to open the URL but finding the element on that page is throwing the following exception:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException: Unable to find element on
closed window (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace
information)
I have tried the driver.switchTo.window() method but it's not working.
I have searched it for hours and I am not getting anywhere.
Here's the code:
public static Selenium selenium;
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
System.setProperty(
"webdriver.ie.driver",
"D:\\Driver\\IEDriverServer_Win32_2.32.3_latest\\IEDriverServer.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capab = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capab.setCapability(
InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,
true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capab);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='addlang']/a[1]")).click();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Remove capability INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS and manually set your IE protected mode settings to be the same for all zones.

cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, INIT_PAGE);
File file = new File("E:/drivers/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
return new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
}

The best bet here is to make some tweaks to the registry:
Go to registry edit (regedit from windows run)
Look in your registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\Zones. Over there, you should see keys number 0-4 . Under these keys 0-4, look for a value named 2500
For all the keys from 0-4, have the same data for value 2500. For example, for key 0 if the value 2500 has data as 3 (hex data), then make the data for value 2500 as 3 for all the other keys (1,2,3,4).
Now try to run the script.
