How to switch to a different window using selenium webdriver java? - webdriver

Question

I am trying to switch to a New window which gets displayed when I click on the Debt Pricing Template. But I am unable to do that as a result of which I am not able to proceed with further scripting... The problem is I am not able to know what should I pass in the switchTo.window() because Pricing Approval Gateway window displays and following is the HTML for the new window:
<*h1 class="pageType noSecondHeader">Pricing Approval Gateway<*/h1>
Following is the code:
LoginPage2.driver.findElement(By.linkText("TEST ORG")).click();
System.out.println("3.Select Dept pricing template button from the organization detail page.");
if(LoginPage2.driver.findElement(By.name("debt_pricing_template")).isDisplayed())
System.out.println("User should able to navigate to Dept pricing template and template display few question, user have answer these question for further navigation.");
LoginPage2.driver.findElement(By.name("debt_pricing_template")).click();
LoginPage2.driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(100, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
LoginPage2.driver.switchTo().window("bPageTitle");
Please advise what needs to be added?

Answer 1

I never used it because in my tests I am not using any new windows, but this should help:
Set<string> handlers = driver.getWindowHandles();
if (driver.getWindowHandles().size()>= 1){
for(String handler : handlers){
driver.switchTo().window(handler);
if (driver.getElement(By.tagName("h1")).contains("Pricing")){
System.out.println("Get focus on Popup window");
break;
}
}
}
else System.out.println("No windows founded!");
I am not quite sure with the h1 approach. So if it does not help, try before opening new window storing current window to String:
String mainWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
Then click the link (or do something else as you are doing now) to open new window. Then to switch to the new window:
Set<string> handlers = driver.getWindowHandles();
for (String handler : handlers){
if (!handler.equals(mainWindow)){
driver.switchTo(handler);
break;
}
}
And then to switch back to original window just do:
driver.switchTo(mainWindow);
Ofcourse the driver variable is expected live instance of
WebDriver

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Go to Billing Summary")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("01 Mar 2016")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("AMS TAX")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("00842")).click();
Set<String> instancewindow= driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> it = instancewindow.iterator();
String parent =it.next();
String child = it.next();
driver.switchTo().window(child);
driver.switchTo().frame("modalSubWindow");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("View More Vehicle Details>>")).click();
driver.switchTo().window(parent);
