Selenium2 (WebDriver) using Java fails when browser window is not focused

Question

My Selenium Java Webdriver tests are failing when they start if I don't click on the browser page that is being opened.

The following crash is caused from an ElementNotVisibleException , obviously.

This was not a big issue until now that I have to put them in a Jenkins CI machine.

Can any body help by providing possible solution or suggestion?

Answer 1

For Selenium RC:

selenium.windowFocus();
selenium.windowMaximize();

For WebDriver (Selenium 2):

driver.manage().window().maximize();
