Selenium RC's windowMaximize() command was missing in Selenium WebDriver. However starting from release 2.21, Selenium WebDriver supports maximizing the browser window.
In this short recipe, we will see how to maximize the browser window.
Create a new test which will get an instance of WebDriver, navigate to a site and perform some basic actions and verifications.
To maximize a browser window, we need to call the maximize() method of the Window interface of the driver class. Add the second line right below where you define an instance of FirefoxDriver.
driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.manage().window().maximize();
The WebDriver class provides the window interface for setting up the browser window size, state, and so on. When we call the maximize() method, the browser window will be maximized from normal or minimized state.
driver.manage().window().maximize();
