How to select a window through Selenium and C#

Question

I am looking to write a simple selenium test that will find a window with a title or URL and then select it, then select swap tabs once. I have tried using various things like

driver.SwitchTo().Window(handle);

I have managed to write this function in Powershell, but because I cannot identify the Chrome window with Powershell I read that Selenium was the best way to go. I am using Visual Studio and have installed all the Chrome Drivers and everything.

Answer 1

No, you can't locate a window with a specific title or URL and then use it to switch tabs.

Driver.SwitchTo().Window(windowHandle)

The current top-level browsing context is represented in the protocol by its associated window handle. A top-level browsing context can be selected using the Switch To Window command as follows :

driver.SwitchTo().Window(windowHandle);
