How to switch between tabs on a browser and get titles of each tab using Selenium?

Answer 1

Hi Abhimanyu, you can use following code snippet to switch between tabs on a browser and get titles of each tab using Selenium Webdriver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Abha_Rathour\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");

driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

String link = "window.open('https://www.edureka.co','_blank');";

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(link);

link = "window.open('https://www.facebook.com','_blank');";

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(link);

for (String windowHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {

driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);

System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

Thread.sleep(5000);

}

1. how to switch the previously open tab.

2. If we closed a newly open tab previous tab still remains open and how to switch and how to close that tab

The following code snippet worked for me

 psdbComponent.clickDocumentLink();
    ArrayList<String> tabs2 = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs2.get(1));
    driver.close();
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs2.get(0));
