Webdriver : How to switch to a specific window?

Question

I came across many solutions for switching between windows, one of them is:

Set<String> allWindows = driver.getWindowHandles();
for(String currentWindow : allWindows){
   driver.switchTo().window(currentWindow);
}

But, I am unable to go to a particular window. Can someone tell me how to switch to 3rd window from parent window (using java client library)?

Answer 1

The solution I would use is the WebDriver's driver.switchTo().frame() method but avoiding the index number.

You can select the window you want using;

1. A number. (0 based index normally but NOT always with IE)
2. A name or ID.
3. A previously found WebElement.

An example:

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("Head1")));

Answer 2

File file = new File("G:\\Selenium\\All_Jars\\chromedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",file.getAbsolutePath() );
driver = new ChromeDriver();

//Maximize the window       
driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get("http://www.rediff.com/");

//Get all window handles
Set<String> allHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();

//count the handles Here count is=2
System.out.println("Count of windows:"+allHandles.size());      

//Get current handle or default handle
String currentWindowHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
System.out.println("currentWindow Handle"+currentWindowHandle);

//Remove first/default Handle
allHandles.remove(allHandles.iterator().next());

//get the last Window Handle
String lastHandle = allHandles.iterator().next();
System.out.println("last window handle"+lastHandle);

//switch to second/last window, because we know there are only two windows 1-parent window 2-other window(ad window)
driver.switchTo().window(lastHandle);
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).click();
