how to set focus from one window to another?

Question

I am clicking on an icon , which results in new window. I want to move to that window ,and perform some operation, close that window, and then again switch back to Parent window.

I have written the below code to perform my action . But it seems not working and my method is not getting call as well .Please review the below code and help me .

public void collection_title() {

        // It will return the parent window name as a String
        String parent = driver.getWindowHandle();
        Set<String> s = driver.getWindowHandles();
        // Now iterate using Iterator
        Iterator<String> I1 = s.iterator();
        while (I1.hasNext()) {

            String child_window = I1.next();


            if (!parent.equals(child_window)) {
                driver.switchTo().window(child_window);

                System.out.println("the window name is "+driver.switchTo().window(child_window).getTitle());

               
            }

        //Code is generating random string

        String uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        edit_coln.sendKeys(uuid);

        System.out.print("text got entered ");

        }
}

Why do you try to force it to switch to the `parent` after the loop is completed? Either the code is not provided in the question, or I don't see any logic that finally does `driver.switchTo().window(parent)`. Since, you already have the `parent` variable, so it should not be a problem. — tsamridh86, Dec 04 '20 at 03:43

You have to Handle windows in selenium.(There are parent window and child window , you can jump(switchTo) from window to window to perform some actions whatever you need)

Get all the opened window handle's and traverse through it and perform some operation and close window

String parent = driver.getWindowHandle();
Set<String> s = driver.getWindowhandles();

Iterator<String> itr = s.iterator();
   while(itr.hasNext()){
    String sWindow = itr.next().toString();
    driver.switchTo().window(sWindow); 
   } 
//perform some operations in your case it's clicking on button
 new WebDriverWait(driver, 10, 
 100).until(ExpectedCondition.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("element xpath"))).click();
 driver.close();
 driver.switchTo.window(parent);
