How to switch between different chrome browser window opened by different WebDriver using selenium in Python?

Question

I searched for this question,and I found an idea using driver.switch_to.window(),but it didn\'t work as expect:

from selenium import webdriver

driver1=webdr         


        

Answer 1

As you have used two WebDriver instances as driver1 and driver2 respectively to openthe urls https://www.google.com (e.g. windowA) and https://www.bing.com/ (e.g. windowB) it is worth to mention that the function switch_to.window() is a WebDriver method. So, driver1 can control only windowA and driver2 can control only windowB.

For Selenium to interact with any of the Browsing Window, Selenium needs focus. So to iterate among the different Browsing Windows you can shift the focus to the different Browsing Window using JavascriptExecutor as follows :

((JavascriptExecutor) driver1).executeScript("window.focus();");
((JavascriptExecutor) driver2).executeScript("window.focus();");
