I'm trying to save the link in variable gmail and trying to open it using send_keys. I'm confused if my declaration of the link is also wrong. It shows type str for declaration.
gmail= "https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/identifier?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin"
gmail.send_keys(keys.CONTROL+ Keys.RETURN)**
Type of gmail:
In [319]: type(gmail)
Out[319]: str
Please let me know if I can define a link and open it in a new tab in chrome browser driven by selenium.
If you want to open an url in a new tab, you can do it this way:
gmail = 'http://example.com'
browser.execute_script('window.open("{}","_blank");'.format(gmail))
browser.switch_to.window(browser.window_handles[-1])
This code will open an url in a new tab. After all you have to close a new tab and go back to previous tab by using this code:
browser.close()
browser.switch_to.window(browser.window_handles[0])
Actually send_keys will just pass the value in the text field and it will not help you to open the link from it.So it you want to open a link using selenium.
driver.get("https://google.com")
Likewise you can pass the link so that page will gets open. if you want to do it in python then
import requests
requests.get("https://google.com")
