How to use a already opened firefox for testing in Selenium

Question

This declaration

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

always opens a new instance window of Firefox. It doesn\'t use the already opened

Answer 1

You should instantiate your webdriver only once, when making a test and then pass it as argument for the other classes in constructors. Something like this:

public class Test {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
@Test
public void testHomePage() {
    HomePage hp = new HomePage(driver);
    //code here }
}


public class HomePage{
private static WebDriver driver;

public HomePage(WebDriver driver) {
    this.driver = driver;}
}
