[Tutor] Open a Url in new tab and tab switching in IE using python and selenium

[shweta kaushik]

Hi All,

I am trying to open a new tab in IE10 and selenium 2.45. It is able to open
a new tab using pyrobot. But when i am trying to open url in new tab, it is
getting opened in first tab. Focus is not set to second tab and hence it is
not working and also switching of tab is not working. please provide
solution. I have provided my code below:
Code:

# Open first tab
IEDriverPath = "/../../../../../../../IEDriverServer.exe"
driver = webdriver.Ie(IEDriverPath, port=5555)
pyseldriver.get("https://www.google.com/")
time.sleep(5)
tab1 = pyseldriver.current_window_handle

#open another tab
obja = pyrobot.Robot()
obja.key_press(pyrobot.Keys.ctrl)
obja.key_press(pyrobot.Keys.t)
obja.key_release(pyrobot.Keys.ctrl)
obja.key_release(pyrobot.Keys.t)
time.sleep(FrameworkConstants.Time02)

pyseldriver.switch_to_window(pyseldriver.window_handles[-1])
tab2 = pyseldriver.current_window_handle
pyseldriver.get("https://www.python.org/")
time.sleep(5)

#Switching to first tab and opening new url
pyseldriver.switch_to_window(tab1)
pyseldriver.get("https://www.yahoo.com/")
time.sleep(10)

#switching to second tab and opening new url
pyseldriver.switch_to_window(tab2)
pyseldriver.get("https://www.gmail.com/")
time.sleep(10)

But links are not opening in new tab and switching is also not happening.
All links are getting opened in first tab itself.

Hi All,
I am trying to open a new tab in IE10 and selenium 2.45.

This list is for beginners learning the Python language, and
unfortunately selenium is a little too advanced for most of the people
here. I myself have never used it.

You might be lucky, and someone has used it, but you will probably have
more success on the main python list, python-***@python.org, also
available on Usenet as comp.lang.python and gmane.comp.python.general.

Your best chances of success are to find a dedicated selenium mailing
list or forum, and ask there.

Good luck!

Thanks Steve for the information.
I searched but was not able to find suitable forum to shoot this question.
So posted here if anyone can help out.

Regards,
Shweta

As Steve suggested the main python list is probably your best bet.

Or stackoverflow.com

There are people whom I know know selenium well who read that and
don't read python-list (any more).
