Key Topics Covered
Introduction to Window Handling: Kaushik explains the concept of window handling, distinguishing between pop-ups (modal alerts) that do not require switching context and new tabs or windows that do. He clarifies that tabs and windows are technically the same from a browser's perspective.
Basic Window Handling: The tutorial begins with how to handle a single new tab/window. Kaushik demonstrates how to click on a link that opens a new tab and how to switch to this new tab using Playwright's context management, without the need for the driver.switchTo().window() method used in Selenium.
Handling Multiple Tabs: Kaushik progresses to handling multiple tabs opened by a single action. He illustrates how to manage multiple windows by capturing all open tabs within a browser context and iterating through them to perform actions or assertions.
Distinguishing Between Browser Context and Window Handling: It's highlighted that browser context and window handling are distinct concepts in Playwright. Browser context pertains to sessions, cookies, and cache, whereas window handling deals with managing multiple tabs/windows within the same context.
Practical Examples and Code Demonstrations: Through practical examples, such as clicking on links that open new tabs and handling pop-up windows, Kaushik provides code snippets and detailed explanations on how to interact with elements within these new contexts.
Advanced Window Handling Techniques: The tutorial covers advanced scenarios like handling pop-ups that are actual new windows and interacting with elements within these windows. Kaushik shows how to use listeners and assertions to wait for specific conditions, such as a page load or title change, before proceeding with further actions.
Recap and Best Practices: The video concludes with a recap of the window handling techniques discussed and emphasizes best practices for managing multiple windows or tabs in Playwright. Kaushik advises against having too many tabs open as it can complicate automation scripts and suggests discussing with UI/UX designers if such scenarios are necessary.
