Multiple Window problem in SELENIUM IDE

Question

HI,

I am using Selenium IDE for recording test cases. In a particular test case, I need to work on two windows simultaneously but the selenium IDE does not record when I open a new tab and work on it. Can anyone give me suggestions on this?

awaiting replies !

Answer 1

You can try that programmatically as suggested here How to close a tab and open a new tab using Selenium RC

You can open the other window (considered popup by selenium i guess) like so

selenium.openWindow("http://example.com/","dev");
selenium.selectWindow("dev");
selenium.open("/");

and then you switch b/w the windows . to go back to original one you will have to do

selenium.selectWindow(null);
