硒+ python switch_to_window

Question

I'm writing a scraper that requires selecting a link to open a new window. To activate the window and check that it is activated, I use :

driver.switch_to_window(driver.window_handles[1])

driver.title

print title

It worked once and then never again. I did some other check to make certain it was recognizing the windows existence and it does, yet it will not switch:

print len(driver.window_handles)

print driver.window_handles

I'm using the following website:

chromedriver = 'C:\Python27\drivers\chromedriver'

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)

driver.get("https://ccrecordse.tarrantcountytx.gov/RealEstate/SearchEntry.aspx")

The program enters dates + lease documents, moves to the next page, clicks the document icons to open the new window, but will not switch to the new window. I cannot figure out why.

Thanks for your help and let me know if I need to provide more information in my question!

Answer 1

I opened the window by using get_element_by_id.click(). But it seems I was capturing the change incorrectly, and if I print driver.title, it shows the correct handler. Thank you!
