[🐛 Bug]: window handles is not working for social login's

[kranthivakati]

What happened?

I'm trying to click on the "Sign in with Google" button, but when I do, a new tab opens, and it's not capturing the window handle, making it difficult to automate the sign-in process. Is this possible to achieve or not? Please let me know.

How can we reproduce the issue?

When opening a browser and clicking on any social login button, Selenium is unable to capture the window handle ID at that moment.

Hello @kranthivakati can you go through it

Fixed issue with window handle capture after clicking social login button

The issue occurs when a user clicks on a social login button (such as "Sign in with Google"). Selenium is unable to capture the window handle for the new tab that opens, making it difficult to proceed with further actions (such as logging in).

Solution: I have implemented a fix where:

After clicking the social login button, the script waits for a new tab to open.
It then uses driver.getWindowHandles() to switch to the new tab where the login occurs.
The test script now works as expected, allowing interaction with the new tab.
Steps Taken:

Captured the current window handle before clicking the button.
Waited for the new window to open and switched to the new tab using driver.getWindowHandles().
Performed actions on the new window.
This solution should address the issue and allow for seamless interaction with new browser tabs in Selenium.
Testing:
I have tested this fix locally and confirmed that the window handle is captured correctly after clicking the social login button.

// Store the current window handle
String parentWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Click on the Google Sign-In button (or any other social login button)
driver.findElement(By.id("signInWithGoogle")).click();

// Wait for the new tab to open
Thread.sleep(2000); // Ideally, use WebDriverWait for the best practice.

// Switch to the new tab (the last window handle)
Set<String> allWindowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
for (String windowHandle : allWindowHandles) {
    if (!windowHandle.equals(parentWindowHandle)) {
        driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
        break;
    }
}

// Now you can perform actions on the new window (sign in or other actions)
// Store the current window handle
String parentWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Click on the Google Sign-In button (or any other social login button)
driver.findElement(By.id("signInWithGoogle")).click();

// Wait for the new tab to open
Thread.sleep(2000); // Ideally, use WebDriverWait for the best practice.

// Switch to the new tab (the last window handle)
Set<String> allWindowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
for (String windowHandle : allWindowHandles) {
    if (!windowHandle.equals(parentWindowHandle)) {
        driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
        break;
    }
}

// Now you can perform actions on the new window (sign in or other actions)
