Difficulty in handling newly opened tab using Selenium and Java

Question

In My below code, @Test(priority=3) deals with opening a button in new tab. but i am unable to print the title. I couldn't understand the logical issue in the code. Selenium doesn't throw any error message. But still title of the new tab is not printed

        }

    }

Once you switchTo() the window through it.next() you need to induce some wait for Selenium to recognize the Title of the new TAB.

For a quick test add some sleeps:

Thread.sleep(8000L);

Ideally, you need to induce WebDriverWait for the titleContains() before collecting the Title as follows:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("partialPagaTitle"));
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

However, while you collect the windowHandles through getWindowHandles() before switching to the new TAB you also need to ensure two things:

The second tab with as an additional window have rendered properly using ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2)
The tab you are switching to isn't the parent TAB.

So your effective code block will be:

String first_handle = driver.getWindowHandle();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body.wrap.cf.wrap.cf.l-results.flux-body.fully-responsive.perceived-instant.exp30288-0.exp36256-1.exp36947-1.exp36118-1.exp37254-1.exp32843-0.exp35771-1.exp36140-1.exp29757-0.exp14958-1.exp31247-0.exp36111-1.view-byot:nth-child(2) div.uitk-layout:nth-child(2) div.site-content-wrap.site-content.click-handler-range.cols-row.cf.uitk-grid.uitk-drawer-wrapper.all-grid-fallback-alt.desktop-filter-drawer-disabled:nth-child(16) section.uitk-col.desktop-col-3-4.all-x-gutter-12:nth-child(2) div.bColumn ul.segmented-list.results-list.price-sort li.flight-module.segment.offer-listing:nth-child(1) div.grid-container.standard-padding div.uitk-grid.all-grid-fallback-alt div.uitk-col.all-col-shrink:nth-child(2) div.uitk-grid.all-grid-fallback-alt.all-grid-align-end.align-right.smalltablet-col-1-1 div.uitk-col.standard-col-l-margin.all-col-shrink.display-larger-screens-only:nth-child(2) > button.btn-secondary.btn-action.t-select-btn")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL,Keys.ENTER);
new WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
Set<String> abc = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> itr = abc.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
    String nextWindow = itr.next();
    if(!firstWindowHandle.equalsIgnoreCase(nextWindow)) {
        driver.switchTo().window(nextWindow);
        new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("partialPagaTitle"));
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    }
}
