How to validate the redirection if window opening in new browser window instead of next tab of current window.

Question

Currently i have button in iframe. If i click on this button manually then next window opens in next tab of current window.

But in case of selenium auto script, if script click on that button then next window opening in new browser instead of next tab of current browser.

That's how selenium behaves. You will have to switch to the new window and do your validation.

To do that,

You can first get current window handle using

String currentWindowHandle = driver.getCurrentWindowHandle();

Then,

You can get all window handles. This will give  you handles of all open windows.

List<String> windowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();

Next you can iterate through windowHandles and get window handle of newly opened window handle. Switch to newly opened window and work on it.

for(String windowHandle : windowHandles){

if(!currentWindowHandle.equals(windowHandle))

driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);

}

Hope that works.
