The following list of APIs will be growing as the WebDriver BiDirectional Protocol grows and browser vendors implement the same. Additionally, Selenium will try to support real-world use cases that internally use a combination of W3C BiDi protocol APIs.
If there is additional functionality you’d like to see, please raise a feature request.
This section contains the APIs related to browsing context commands.
Creates a new browsing context in a new window.
BrowsingContext browsingContext = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.WINDOW);Creates a new browsing context in a new tab.
BrowsingContext browsingContext = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.TAB);Creates a browsing context for the existing tab/window to run commands.
String id = driver.getWindowHandle();
BrowsingContext browsingContext = new BrowsingContext(driver, id);A reference browsing context is a top-level browsing context. The API allows to pass the reference browsing context, which is used to create a new window. The implementation is operating system specific.
BrowsingContext
browsingContext =
new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.WINDOW, driver.getWindowHandle());A reference browsing context is a top-level browsing context. The API allows to pass the reference browsing context, which is used to create a new tab. The implementation is operating system specific.
BrowsingContext
browsingContext =
new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.TAB, driver.getWindowHandle()); BrowsingContext browsingContext = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.TAB);
NavigationResult info = browsingContext.navigate("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/bidi/logEntryAdded.html"); BrowsingContext browsingContext = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.TAB);
NavigationResult info = browsingContext.navigate("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/bidi/logEntryAdded.html",
ReadinessState.COMPLETE);Provides a tree of all browsing contexts descending from the parent browsing context, including the parent browsing context.
String referenceContextId = driver.getWindowHandle();
BrowsingContext parentWindow = new BrowsingContext(driver, referenceContextId);
parentWindow.navigate("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/iframes.html", ReadinessState.COMPLETE);
List<BrowsingContextInfo> contextInfoList = parentWindow.getTree();Provides a tree of all browsing contexts descending from the parent browsing context, including the parent browsing context upto the depth value passed.
String referenceContextId = driver.getWindowHandle();
BrowsingContext parentWindow = new BrowsingContext(driver, referenceContextId);
parentWindow.navigate("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/iframes.html", ReadinessState.COMPLETE); BrowsingContext window1 = new BrowsingContext(driver, driver.getWindowHandle());
BrowsingContext window2 = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.WINDOW);
List<BrowsingContextInfo> contextInfoList = window1.getTopLevelContexts(); BrowsingContext window1 = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.WINDOW);
BrowsingContext window2 = new BrowsingContext(driver, WindowType.WINDOW);
window2.close();This section contains the APIs related to logging.
console.log eventsListen to the console.log events and register callbacks to process the event.
