Selenium Webdriver encounters difficulty in retrieving the handle for JavaScript popup windows

I am facing an issue on one of my web pages where a button opens up a popup window that requires me to select certain values. I am using IE browser and Selenium 2.53 libraries for automation. However, I am unable to switch to this popup window as I can't find the window handle - only the parent handle is being displayed.

I have tried switching to alert/popup but the popup generated from a button on the parent page is not identifiable, making it impossible for me to interact with it.

Set<String> winhandle= driver.getWindowHandles();
    System.out.println(winhandle);
    for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) 
    {
        System.out.println(handle); 

        String newURL = driver.getTitle();
        System.out.println(newURL); 
      }

Best regards, Nir

Answer №1

Your current code does not properly iterate over the other windows that may be open.

To ensure that you are printing all window handles, including popups, consider updating your code like this:

Set<String> windowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
for (String handle : windowHandles) {
    driver.switchTo().window(handle);  // This line was missing and is crucial for switching to each window
    System.out.println(handle); 
}

Once you have tested this new code, you can modify it further to exit the loop when you reach the desired window.

Give this approach a try and let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

Answer №2

Isn't it curious how a code snippet that utilizes window handles and switchTO functions flawlessly in the Chrome browser, but fails to work in Internet Explorer? I am stumped on how to troubleshoot this issue specifically for IE, while everything runs smoothly on Chrome.
