💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using switch_to.frame instead of switch_to.window

Trying to switch without specifying window handle

To switch between browser windows in Selenium, you use switch_to.window(). This tells Selenium to focus on the specified window handle.

Common Mistakes

Using current_window_handle which returns only one handle

Using a non-existent attribute like all_windows

driver.window_handles returns a list of all open window handles. This helps to identify and switch between windows.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using driver.get() to open new window

Confusing switch_to.window with switch_to.frame

First, open a new window with switch_to.new_window('window'). Then get all window handles with window_handles. Finally, switch to the new window with switch_to.window().
