Am currently using windows handling for opening the map direction in the new window and after it opens i will be closing the child window, which is opened and do the remaming work in the code.But it is closing the whole browser, while debugging it is working correctly , but while running the code, am Getting the error as,
Error - selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchWindowException: Message: no such window: target window already closed
Down i have attached the code,
##Clicking on The Map Image
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/img[1]").click()
##Setting up an Window Handle to get the size.
handels =self.driver.window_handles
size = len(handels)
"""
The Below For Loop, We are using For Handling The Mutilple Windows,
Which are opened in the Browser.
"""
for length in range(size):
driver.switch_to.window(handels[length])
print(self.driver.title)
time.sleep(3)
if length == 1:
driver.close()
Where i have done the error i dunno. please sort me out.
Try this code to close new window and switch back to main window
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
# Get current window
current = self.driver.current_window_handle
# Get current windows
handles = self.driver.window_handles
# Click button. Consider to use more reliable relative XPath instead of this absolute XPath
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/img[1]").click()
# Wait for new window
WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.new_window_is_opened(handles))
# Switch to new window
self.driver.switch_to.window([w for w in self.driver.window_handles if w != current][0])
# Close new window
self.driver.close()
# Switch back to main window
self.driver.switch_to.window(current)
In short the switching to the new window handle wasn't clean.
Solution
- Always keep track of the Parent Window handle so you can traverse back later if required as per your usecase.
- Always use WebDriverWait with expected_conditions as
number_of_windows_to_be(num_windows) before switching between Tabs/Windows.
- Always keep track of the Child Window handles so you can traverse whenever required.
- Always use WebDriverWait with
expected_conditions as title_contains("partial_page_title") before extracting the Page Title.
Here is your own code with some minor tweaks mentioned above:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
handels_initially = driver.window_handles
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/section[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/a[1]/img[1]").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.number_of_windows_to_be(2))
handels_now =self.driver.window_handles
new_handle = [x for x in handels_now if x != handels_initially][0]
driver.switch_to.window(new_handle)
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.title_contains("partial_title"))
print(self.driver.title)
driver.close()
