How do I close a focused window using Selenium WebDriver in Java

0 votes

I work with Selenium WebDriver. I initially open the first page then move on to the second page and perform some action and go back to the first page. In this case, I want to close the first page and work on the second. I use the command driver.close() to do this, but, it closes the second page instead of the first. How can I make Selenium to close a specific window?

Part of code

String HandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

 driver.findElement(By.xpath("...")).click();
 for (String twohandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
        driver.switchTo().window(twohandle);
    }       
 driver.findElement(By.linkText("abc")).click();
 driver.close();

You can use this   

String base = driver.getWindowHandle();

Set <String> set = driver.getWindowHandles();

    set.remove(base);
    assert set.size()==1;
driver.switchTo().window(set.toArray(new String[0]));
driver.close();
driver.switchTo().window(base);

This is easy and it works for me

Hope this helps
