When you use Firefox to open the above Html page, you should enable Allow popup first if your Firefox prevents popup windows. You can click the Allow pop-ups for file:/// menu item to enable the pop-ups.
Following is the java code that close popups. Three methods need to mention.
WebDriver.getWindowHandle() : This method is used to get current browser handler which can used to close it.
WebDriver.getWindowHandles() : This method is used to get all browser handlers.
WebDriver.switchTo().window(String windowHandler) : This method is used to switch to the web page before close it.
System.out.println("Begin closeAllPopupWindows method.");
/* First create Firefox driver object. */
WebDriver ffDriver = new FirefoxDriver();
/* Open the html file which will have 2 popups. */
ffDriver.get("file:///C:/WorkSpace/dev2qa.com/Code/src/com/dev2qa/webdriver/TestPopUpWebPageWindow.html");
/* Sleep 3 seconds to wait for the popup complete. */
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println("Three web page opened, one is the main browserand the other 2 are popups.");
/* Get main browser title. */
String mainWindowTitle = ffDriver.getTitle();
/* Get main browser window handler, this is a string like "{ec1bd5b1-2d5d-4c4d-b11e-9e4497d76899}" */
String mainWindowHandler = ffDriver.getWindowHandle();
/* Get all window handlers include popups. */
Set<String> allWindowHandlers = ffDriver.getWindowHandles();
/* Loop in the allWindowHandlers. */
for (String currWindowHandler : allWindowHandlers) {
/* If not mainWindowHandler then close it. */
if (!currWindowHandler.equals(mainWindowHandler)) {
/* First switch to the popup window. */
ffDriver.switchTo().window(currWindowHandler);
/* Get current web page title first, because can not
* get this value after close it.
* */
String currWindowTitle = ffDriver.getTitle();
/* Then quite Firefox browser.*/
ffDriver.close();
System.out.println("Quit popup, browser title is : " + currWindowTitle);
}
}
/* Switch back to the main Firefox browser first,
* otherwise an exception will be thrown. */
ffDriver.switchTo().window(mainWindowHandler);
/* Then quit main Firefox browser. */
ffDriver.close();
System.out.println("Quit main web browser, page title is : " + mainWindowTitle);
System.out.println("End closeAllPopupWindows method.");
