Close Window - WebDriver | MDN

Close Window
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The Close Window command of the WebDriver API closes the current top-level browsing context (window or tab) and returns with the list of currently open WebWindow
s. If it is the last window that is being closed, the WebDriver session will implicitly be deleted. Subsequent commands after the session is ended will therefore cause invalid session ID errors.
Syntax
Method | URI template |
---|---|
DELETE |
/session/{session id}/window |
URL parameters
session id
-
Identifier of the session.
Errors
- Invalid session ID
-
Session does not exist.
- Unexpected alert open
-
A user prompt, such as
window.alert
, blocks execution of command until it is dealt with.
Example
Python:
python
from selenium import webdriver
session = webdriver.Firefox()
original_window = session.window_handle
new_window = session.execute_script("return window.open()")
session.switch_to.window(new_window)
session.close()
session.switch_to.window(original_window)
C#:
cs
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
namespace MDNWebDriverExamples
{
class Example
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
FirefoxDriver session = new FirefoxDriver();
string original_window = session.CurrentWindowHandle;// Optional if you want to store the handle in a variable
session.ExecuteScript("window.open()");
session.SwitchTo().Window(session.WindowHandles[1]); // Switch to the second window
session.Close(); // Close current window
session.SwitchTo().Window(session.WindowHandles[0]); // Switch back to the first window
}
}
}
