Can we switch to another window without using switchTo() method through Selenium webdriver?

Question

如何在不使用Selenium Webdriver中的switchTo（）方法的情况下切换窗口？

Answer 1

Answering straight No , you won't be able to switch window without using switchTo() method through Selenium Webdriver .

All the WebDriver commands happen in the context of either the current browsing context or the current top-level browsing context . The current top-level browsing context is represented in the protocol by its associated window handle. When a top-level browsing context is selected using the Switch To Window command, a specific browsing context can be selected using the Switch to Frame command.

Note : The use of the term window to refer to a top-level browsing context is legacy and doesn't correspond with either the operating system notion of a “window” or the DOM Window object.

Driver.SwitchTo().Window(windowHandle)

• HTTP Method

   POST 

• URI Template

   /session/{session id}/window 

• Command

   Driver.SwitchTo().Window(windowHandle) 

Note : Switching window will select the current top-level browsing context used as the target for all subsequent commands. In a tabbed browser, this will typically make the tab containing the browsing context the selected tab.
