Question

How to apply wait for new window using Selenium WebDriver?

Answer 1

As sometimes during web automation, when you perform click on a particular hyper link, it opens up a new window. In this post I will explain how to apply wait for a new window until it gets open as-

public class WaitForNewWindow {

 @Test

public void testApp() {

     WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    driver.get("https://www.edureka.co/blog/what-is-selenium/");

    driver.findElement(By.id("why-selenium")).click();

     //Verify new window is opened or not

    Assert.assertTrue(waitForNewWindow(driver,10), "New window is not opened");

     System.out.println("New window has been opened");

     driver.quit();

    }

  public boolean waitForNewWindow(WebDriver driver, int timeout){

          boolean flag = false;

          int counter = 0;

          while(!flag){

              try {

                  Set<String> winId = driver.getWindowHandles();

                  if(winId.size() > 1){

                      flag = true;

                      return flag;

                  }

                  Thread.sleep(1000);

                  counter++;

                  if(counter > timeout){

                      return flag;

                  }

              } catch (Exception e) {

                  System.out.println(e.getMessage());

                  return false;

              }

          }

          return flag;

   }

}
