Test throws NoSuchWindowException when trying to get elements from driver

[gunnee]

I am using webdriverextensions 3.0.1 with IE driver 2.53.1 (32 bit) on an IE 11. While running my test, the browser window gets opened, however it always stucks when trying to access elements on the page or getting the window handle. See the following example:

@RunWith(WebDriverRunner.class)
@InternetExplorer
public class TestTest {

  @Test
  public void test1() {
    Bot.open("https://www.google.de/");
    Bot.waitFor(5);
    String windowHandle = Bot.driver().getWindowHandle();
    Assert.assertNotNull(windowHandle);
  }
}

Exception:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException: Window is closed (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Any suggestions? Needless to say that this has been working before with Selenium version 2.X (and obviously with wde < 3). Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried the 3.0 version of the Internet Explorer driver?

[gunnee]

Unfortunately, I get the same error with 3.0 (32bit). I thought the recommended version would be 2.53.1 (at least thats written on Selenium's web page).

[andidev]

Oh is that so then don't use 3.0 version ;-) I'll have a look at it ASAP. Are you sure it is not at a selenium issue?

[andidev]

This seems to be an selenium bug, I get the same issue when running plain vanilla selenium code:

public class TestTest {

    @Test
    public void test1() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "drivers/internetexplorerdriver-windows-32bit.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.de/");
        try {
            TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        String windowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
        Assert.assertNotNull(windowHandle);
    }

}

I also seem to get NoSuchWindowException when running webdriverextensions 2.9.2 (using selenium 2.53.1)

Are you sure this really worked for webdriverextensions < 3 ?

[gunnee]

You're correct. Selenium issue..

Answering your question, the code was running with the following combinations:

• wde 2.3.0 - IEdriver 2.50 - Selenium 2.49.0
• wde 2.7.0 - IEdriver 2.53 - Selenium 2.53.0
