如何使用Selenium IDE切换窗口？

Question

The instruction here:

http://www.thoughtworks-studios.com/twist/2.3/help/how_do_i_handle_popup_in_selenium2.html

say "In Selenium 2(WebDriver), testing popup windows involve switching the driver to the popup window and then running the corresponding actions. "

I am using the selenium IDE to build and run my test cases. Where exactly do I put the above java code?

I cannot modify the source code myself but I can do whatever I want in Selenium.

Answer 1

The code that is mentioned in the link - it's pure Java. You don't need to do any modifications of your site JavaScript if you want to switch between windows. You can do do any test automation using WebDriver library.

browser is an instance of WebDriver class and it has switchTo() method. In other binding languages (C#, Ruby, Python) there are similar methods for the same purpose.

Answer 2

Whenever you click on a link that opens a new window or even when you open a new window by your own code ,You can use the code given in the link to select the window and perform any operation in that window.

You have nothing to do with the source code.The code given will serve all the purpose.
