Selenium webdriver switchin tab - selenium

Question

I am unable to open google in new tab please review this code :
public static void main (String [] args) throws InterruptedException, AWTException
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C://Users//vbisht//Downloads//chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.co.in/");
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_T);
//Thread.sleep(10000);
//driver.navigate().refresh();*/
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1)); //switches to new tab
driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.co.in/");

Answer 1

String parentWindowHandler=driver.getWindowHandle();// Store your parent window
String subWindowHandler = null;
Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles(); // get all window handles
Iterator<String> iterator = handles.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()){
subWindowHandler = iterator.next();
}
driver.switchTo().window(subWindowHandler); // switch to popup window
Hope it will help you.

Try the below code,
The code below will open the link in new Tab.
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);
The code below will open empty new Tab.
String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL,"t");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("urlLink")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);

Answer 3

Instead of using Robot Class, You can simply open it with Javascript Executor
public static void main (String [] args) throws InterruptedException, AWTException { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C://Users//vbisht//Downloads//chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.co.in/");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open()");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1)); //switches to new tab
driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.co.in/");
}

To open two different urls in two different TABs, once you initiate opening a new tab/window you have to induce WebDriverWait and then collect the window handles and finally iterate through the window handles and then switchTo().window(newly_opened) as per the following example:
Sample Code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
String first_tab = driver.getWindowHandle();
System.out.println("Working on Google");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.open('http://facebook.com/');");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,5);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
Set<String> s1 = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> i1 = s1.iterator();
while(i1.hasNext())
{
String next_tab = i1.next();
if (!first_tab.equalsIgnoreCase(next_tab))
{
driver.switchTo().window(next_tab);
System.out.println("Working on Facebook");
}
}
Console Output:
Working on Google
Working on Facebook
