It throws noSuchWindowException.

The scenario is , i'm switching to a window and performing few operation and closing the window.After that i want to return back to default window...I'm using $I->switchToWindow();

But it's' failing.Please suggest.

I assume you work with the WebDriver module?

Have you tried

<?php
$I->executeInSelenium(function (\Webdriver $webdriver) {
     $handles=$webdriver->getWindowHandles();
     $last_window = end($handles);
     $webdriver->switchTo()->window($last_window);
});
?>

from the docs?

Yes i have used this.But what i want is, how can i switch back to my default window ??

• First i have to switch to window
• Do some operation
• Switch back to default window

So how would be able to achieve the 3rd point mentioned above ??

What was the solution?

Before siwtching to new window, i stored the window handle of current window like thi s: -

$curr_window=$webdriver->getWindowHandle();

And at last used this , $I->switchToWindow($curr_window);

I'm new of codeception, it's trouble to declare $webdriver in my code. Could you share complete code to switch window as you mention above. Thank so much.
