New Feature of Selenium 4-How to Work with Multiple Tabs in Selenium

[@abdullahalhisham5562]

Very useful demo for handling tabs/windows in Selenium 4. I was stuck in my code and it showed me the way, Thanks a lot Mukesh ji

[@Mukeshotwani]

Glad to hear that Hisham. Thank you.

Hi Mukesh thanks for the video..recently I had gone through a reporting tool name qmetry..it's pretty good. It will help most of us in reporting.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hey Venkatesh sure I will try to record video on qmetry as well.

[@nrravitej2498]

Hi Mukesh, thanks for the video, this seems to be very similar to the older version , where , we would use the getHandlers() to get set of all handlers from all opened windows [some times tabs , some times windows ] , but, in latest version they have separate methods to switch to tab or window.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Tej, Here Browser session is one only handle changes but earlier we used to have different session for each browser.

[@vijayapriyapalanikumar6213]

I have one doubt, the moment we used get window handle ,there is another different sessions are created .but you told new window() - will work only on one session, then how it's meet the advantage of handling window in single session, please help me to understand

Hi, thank you for the video. May i know if it is possible to hadnel multiple tabs. in parallel within one session using selenium?

[@swanandmahurkar7082]

Most usefull thing about this video is return type of newWindow() is WebDriver instance. Now,we can play with it as WebDriver names are diffrent,earlier it was confusing.

[@Mukeshotwani]

true Swanand, it make sense to use newWindow method now. Thank you.

Can we use multiprocessing and work with multiple tabs at same time?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes We can

Hi Mukesh, Plz tell me, I'm getting this error. org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException:

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Sahoo ji, use latest chrome driver depends on your chrome version sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads I used 77 version

[@gyanasahoosahoo4020]

thanks@@Mukeshotwani sir

[@hemanarasimhareddy3631]

Hi mukesh ji can we switch to parent window without closing the child tab

[@Mukeshotwani]

Yes Hema you can do that in Selenium 4

[@KashanKhantunio]

Kya aisa ho sakta h. 10 Tabs group ko ek hi Tab se control kar sakte hain? FOr example: main page pe main kuch search karun to sub Tab groups pe search result ajaye, phr main main page pe koi link open karun to sub group Tab pe wahi link open hojaye. Kya aisa ho sakta hai?

[@rakeshkumarmishra1498]

Hi Mukesh, Thanks for sharing this topic however We were able to do in selenium 3 itself using getHandlers too.

[@kdkvai]

Correct, I was wondering, what's the purpose of this feature? I do not see value in this. There might be something which I am missing here

Can we use Selenium 4 now, is it stable ? Please comment

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Subrata, there are some open issue in Selenium 4. I would recommend to use Selenium 3 for more stability.

@Mukesh otwani - hi mukesh is there any change in WebDriverwait method ..explicit wait ..after adding selenium 4 - my WebDriverWait method is showing error - WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(byLocator));

[@Mukeshotwani]

use WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(20)); Duration class you can import from import java.time.Duration; try and let me know. If issue still persist then try adding below dependency mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.guava/guava use 19.0 version
