[@hardeepkaur228]

In the link that you provided, when I click on open multiple tabs , then only one tab gets opened, Same is the case with window, only one window gets opened when I click on open multiple windows. Why is this so ????

[@HYRTutorials]

By default your browser might be blocking the popup windows. Change the popup settings in your browser buddy

[@HemaBishtThakur]

Hello… there are two handles, so we easily can switch to parent handle. What if we have 3-4 handles? How can we switch to 2 or 3 window handle?

[@gangasreenivasakumarreddy713]

Please explain the video for handling 2 or 3 windows

[@HYRTutorials]

It doesn't matter how many videos are there buddy. You can always switch to any window you want based on its title. Initially you should store your parent window in one variable so that you can use it for later use.

[@harshithaprakash852]

clearly explained, thank you :)

Thanks buddy 😊

[@KARTIK865]

how to store multiple window handles in the set and how to we get to know which handle is the one we need to switch to? can you suggest something for that?

[@HYRTutorials]

When u use getWindowHandles(), it automatically returns the set for you. Every window handle is a unique identifier, so if you want to know which handle is for which window then you can switch to each window and get the title. if you want to switch to the window based on the title then iterate all the window handles and switch to each window handle then immediately check the title and if that is the target title then break the iteration.

Wowww super explanation understood clearly

[@thetruth5672]

Nice explanation sir, but does Set interface maintains the insertion order?

[@HYRTutorials]

Set interface is implemented by many classes buddy. So each one of those implementation is different. Some provide hashing mechanism and some provide sorting mechanism and so on. So if you learn about them then u will understand which is used for what purpose

[@mjadhitya3874]

I to use the same code but in if statement "driver.switchTo().window(...)" in that place handle option didn't shown to it shows only parenthandle option only

While practicing on hyr practice page( window handle practice page) When I want to click on "open new tab window". I wrote a code for it. When I run , browser starts and goes the specific page and not clicking on desired element. ***unexpected popups ads*** are appearing which are stopping the script from execution. How to handle this situation?

[@roshanp.thomas1768]

Hi..if two windows are opened along with the parent window..how it will identify..we are giving handle only na...and we want to pass the value to one window only..in this case..can you pls show one eg.

[@HYRTutorials]

Basically selenium doesn't keep a track like parent window or child window. It is our job to identify which is parent and which one is child. Accordingly we have to implement our logic. Selenium can handle one window at any given point of time. That is why if we want to perform operations on any other window, we need to switch our focus to that window. Then only we can perform the operations

Hello sir, you didn't mention the difference between window handle vs multiple tab handles practically 😢. How would selenium come to know whether its new window to be open or new tab to ope. As you said same code for both that is confusion. Please explain again

Brother, eventhough I used thread.sleep or implicit wait after Navigation to new url, the execution stops after navigation to new url. The code is not executing the next lines of code.

Hi! I am not able to switch to the third window! Actually my issue is that my automation is opening 3 windows in different times. So I don't know when and witch command should I use to move to the third window

[@HYRTutorials]

At different times means just seconds or minutes?

[@gilsonsouza8159]

​@@HYRTutorials Seconds! The procedure is: 1- open a window, type something, press enter. It will open another window. 2- (I am able to get in the second window) in the second window, I click in the icon "edit", than it opens another window. 3- (I am not able to get in the third window) in this window I am supposed to perform some actions. 4- after perform the actions, I need to comeback to the parent window (that is not a problem, since I know how to do that.) So the biggest issue, is in the steep 3. Please give some light on that! :)

[@HYRTutorials]

@@gilsonsouza8159 in the second window before you click on edit, how many window handles u r getting? And after clicking on edit button, how many window handles u r getting?

[@gilsonsouza8159]

​@@HYRTutorials Hi, Thank you for your support on this! in the second window before you click on edit, how many window handles u r getting? 2 windows: CDwindow-C2EF12C82997362E16DA96D182596371, CDwindow-9EB029E8E620C2421412D453B68B627B And after clicking on edit button, how many window handles u r getting? 3 Windows: [CDwindow-C2EF12C82997362E16DA96D182596371, CDwindow-9EB029E8E620C2421412D453B68B627B, CDwindow-A4BE466850893E0169EBC6334028FB60]

[@HYRTutorials]

so now it's clear that we are getting the window handle properly but somehow it is going wrong in the window switching part. Please make sure you are switching to the third window correctly. in the above case, CDwindow-A4BE466850893E0169EBC6334028FB60] is the window handle of the third window. try implementing some logic to identify the third window handle correctly so that the task will be done perfectly without any issues. and one more important thing is if you are switching to the third window correctly and still you are unable to perform the operations on the desired elements then make sure that the element is not present inside any frame. if it is present inside any frame then u need to handle the frame as well.
