为什么 Selenium 在应该点击链接并在下一页插入输入时却在上一页插入输入？

Question

I am using Selenium with Java, when I am trying to hit "forgot password" on the page I am testing, Selenium is inserting the inputs on the previous page and then going to the next page:

                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='email']")).sendKeys("email");
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='password']")).sendKeys("password");
        driver.findElement(By.className("btn-primary")).click();// -> here it should take us to another page and insert below data, but it is inserting the data on the page and then executing this line and moving to the next page 
        
        System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.text-with-icon")).getText());

        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Forgot Password")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='email']")).sendKeys("email");

When I will use driver.get("https...") it is working fine and taking me to the next page, inserting the data in the proper orde, but I want to hit the URL with "forgot password" and insert data without giving the exact address.

Answer 1

What do you mean when you talk 'page'? If you talk about new tab you should do action on new tab after driver.findElement(By.className("btn-primary")).click(); . Something like this:

    for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
    }

and then on new tab you should do next steps. If you mean some pop-up or alert window, you should work with driver.switchTo().alert() or something like that.
