Here are my steps
1.Using selenium webdriver I am opening Edge
2.Then after click a link it opens popup security window. I am attaching a screenshot
3. I tried to switch that window using many different ways. It is not an alert because when I called for alert it says no such alerts are open.
I tried to call following but it gives error
window_after = driver.window_handles[1]
Following two lines gave me 1 handles:
handles = driver.window_handles
print("Number of handles ", len(handles))
Output:
Number of handles 1
if it is not alert, not a window, what is it? view source code does not print anything.
All i need is insert user name and password and then click "OK" button
I put the program for sleep 20 seconds and then manually selected the cursor to user name text box. The executed following code but it does nothing
ActionChains(driver).send_keys("Test").perform()
Side Note: Need answer for only for Microsoft Edge.
Selenium only works for browser automation. The Windows Security pop-up is an OS-level dialog and Selenium will not be able to recognize it. You could use third party tools like AutoIt with Selenium to automate non-browser based functionality. For the detailed steps, you could refer to this article.

I have a code in python that uses selenium chromedriver to reach a webpage and collect some data but I want to solve a issue related with a pop-up window. For example, if you go to this webpage https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BAC?p=BAC you will get two pop-up windows. One is for the acceptance of the collection of personal data (image below) and this I can handle well with the following code:
...
# Go to the website:
driver.get(main_url)
# Click accept button
driver.find_element(By.NAME, "agree").click()
...
The second one (image below) however I'm not being able to dismiss. I want the code to click on the "Maybe later" button but I cant find the button ID. Can someone help me?
I use python 3.9.5 and selenium 4.1.0 with Microsoft Edge 98.0.1108.43 on Windows 10 to fill a date in a text box with the code below:
#element is the web element I want to fill
element = "element_name"
date = driver.find_element(By.ID, element)
date.click()
date.clear()
#Positionate cursor at text box beginning
for i in range(1,10):
date.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_LEFT)
#Fill the date
date.send_keys("11022022")
I use a Windows task scheduler to run a python script when the computer is locked.
This code uses to work when I am logged in and using the computer, but when it's locked the send keys fail, it used to work with edge version 95, but in recent versions stopped.
Unfortunately, I can't simply replace the value of the element, apparently, the site has some different mechanism to fill it and I must fill it with the keyboard.
<input name="element_name" type="text" value="04/02/2022" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_dtInicial_txtData" class="edt" style="width:90px;">
I also have tried to force windows to always focus on browser windows, so the webpage always has the keyboard focus, but it also does not work.
Any hint of how to solve this question? Is it a Bug?
In Selenium there is a state that called headless, it allows you to work with the web page without actually "seeing" it. There is no window opening and everything works virtually. You set this state in the browser options.
EdgeOptions edgeOptions = new EdgeOptions();
edgeOptions.UseChromium = true;
edgeOptions.BinaryLocation =
#"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe";
edgeOptions.AddArgument("headless");
edgeOptions.AddArgument("disable-gpu");
var msedgedriverDir = #"E:\webdriver";
var driver =
new EdgeDriver(msedgedriverDir, edgeOptions);
In Java, there is a class called Robot which mimic keyboard pressing, so try to find the matching library in Python.
I have a python selenium code to test a website. Now once the driver click on a link in the 1st tab, it opens it up in a new tab, but the focus stays on the previous tab, and I am not able to reference any elements in the new tab.
How can change the focus to the new?
Also both the tabs are open in the same browser and I am using Chrome browser
name each window if you are working with a few number of windows. using this chunk you can name and switch between tabs
window1= driver.window_handles[1]
driver.switch_to_window(window1)
You can loop through the window handles, record the counts of window handles and switch with count - 1. Check below.
n = 0
for handle in driver.window_handles:
n+=1
driver.switch_to_window(n-1)
If you encounter any difficulty, please paste your code for further elucidation.
After clicking the submit button in my application, there will be three windows opened with title as claims, group benefits and controller. By default, the control is in the claims window. I wanted the control to be moved to group benefits window. To do that, i have used windows_handles function to find the number of windows opened so that i can loop it through to find the exact window to which i want to navigate to. However, the script returns only one window as opened, when there are three windows opened upon clicking the submit button. May i know why the script is returning only one window as opened, when the script have opened 3 windows actually please?
import selenium
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver =
webdriver.Ie("c:\\Users\\n0317311\\Desktop\\IEDriverServer.exe")
time.sleep(3)
driver.get("https://test-groupmarkets.lmig.com/LMAuth/gms1nxtlogin.fcc")
time.sleep(3)
uname = driver.find_element_by_name("USER")
uname.send_keys("USERNAME")
upwd = driver.find_element_by_name("PASSWORD")
upwd.send_keys("Password")
uname.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(2)
windows = driver.window_handles
number_of_windows = len(windows)
print ("number of windows opened:", number_of_windows)
After running the above code, i am expecting the number of windows to be printed as 3 instead of 1, because the code has opened 3 windows upon clicking the submit button.
I am running an app in the browser; and for some actions I was able to simulate actions with keystrokes; but I have a peculiar problem: some actions in my app cause system prompt to pop up, like for example for save or confirm quit.
Is there a way to control these in Selenium python? As example imagine to use keystroke to save a page; then the system dialog (which is not part of the web app), appear and ask you where to save the file. Or imagine the prompt that ask you if you are sure to close the browser window if you have multiple tabs open.
I did try to look for a different window, assuming that I can switch context between windows in the browser, but I find nothing beside the main app, because these are system windows. Is there a workaround for this?
If you are talking about system dialogs, then it's not possible to interact with them using selenium.
However, for browser popups (alerts), just navigate to the popup:
driver.switch_to_alert()
Then, use the methods from the Alert class to interact with the popup. The Alert class contains methods for dismissing, accepting, inputting, and getting text from alert prompts.
Some examples:
Alert(driver).accept()
Alert(driver).dismiss()
Alert(driver).authenticate()
Alert(driver).send_keys(keys_to_send)
Alert(driver).text()
see: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/py/webdriver/selenium.webdriver.common.alert.html
You could make usage of the Selenium methods to check current window and move to another one:
You can use
driver.window_handles
to find a list of window handles and after try to switch using following methods (selenium documentation).
driver.switch_to_alert()
driver.switch_to.active_element
driver.switch_to.default_content
driver.switch_to.window
Since the application you work on, seems to respond to Selenium commands here it is a working example about opening a popup window, switching selenium scope on it, extract data and close the popup.
The process is repeated for all the products:
for item in driver.find_elements_by_class_name("products"):
item.click() # clicking on item activate a popup
driver.switch_to_alert() #switch to new window
# Get data
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close.ui-corner-all")[0].click() #close window
