Issues with IE close browser, Firefox window focus. unable to get screenshots any browser Empty Issues with IE close browser, Firefox window focus. unable to get screenshots any browser

Hi, my name is Hernan,

I'm trying to build a test suit and after investigating about the proper tool to use, I came across to selenium.

But I have found the following problems, that if not resolved then I may need to start all over again looking for a different automation tool.

1 Can't get screenshots with selenium 2.13 and 2.15 on any browser.

2. I have tried to maximize the Firefox browser in many ways, but I never succeed.

3. There is no way I can get focus on Firefox, so I can’t maximize it using JRobot.

4. Finally, on internet Explorer I always get error when closing selenium (selenium.close and selenium.stop commands) and the browser does not close. Then other tests that follow cannot be continued until closing the browser manually.

Could anyone help please?

Note I'm using IE8 and Firefox 8.0.1 (windows XP and Windows Vista)

There is a command in Selenium to maximize window:
Code:
selenium.windowMaximize();
If this will not work, try it using js:
Code:
selenium.getEval("window.resizeTo(X, Y); window.moveTo(0,0);");

If you want to close browser, try this:
Code:
selenium.getEval("window.close");

Thanks for your reply,

I have tried these suggestions, but neither one seem to work, could you please provide a working example?

Hi,

I managed to maximize Firefox browser with the java script code as suggested by faramka.

Code:

selenium.getEval("window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight); window.moveTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);");


But unfortunately the program (eclipse) used to launch selenium RC, remains at the front and I have been unable to bring the main browser to the front of the screen.

I have tried 'selenium.windowFocus' and

selenium.getEval("wondow.focus"); but neither works.

I'm still trying to capture screenshots but no luck so far.

Any help would be very much appreciated thanks please?

Try use getAllWindowIds() or getAllWindowNames() and then selectWindow(). Read documentation for getting to know these commands.

Hi, am facing similar problem, tried using getAllWindowIds(), it will print "id isundefined" on the console, my code is like this:

String getwindowid = "";
for(int i=0; i getwindowid = getwindowid + windowids[i];

}
System.out.println("id is" + getwindowid);
