Selenium with tab management in Python

Selenium Tabs: Enhanced Tab Management for Selenium

Simplify your web automation tasks with Selenium Tabs, a Python package that takes Selenium to the next level with streamlined tab management and additional features.

Installation

Install Selenium Tabs from PyPI with ease:

pip install seleniumtabs

Core Idea

In Selenium Tabs, a browser contains multiple tabs, enabling you to interact with web pages more efficiently. You can perform various actions on both Tab and Browser objects, making web automation a breeze.

Actions/Activities on Tab Objects:

• Check tab status (open/closed)
• Switch to a specific tab
• Close a tab
• Access page source, title, and headings
• Select elements and perform actions using Jquery
• Perform actions on a specific tab (e.g., click, scroll, close)
• CSS selection made easy

Actions/Activities on Browser Objects:

• Open new tabs with URLs
• Retrieve a list of open tabs
• Switch to a specific tab (first, last, or any)
• Close a tab
• Close the entire browser

Working with Driver Objects

A driver object is available on any Tab object, allowing you to access the browser/driver object and use Selenium methods when needed without making explicit switches to a specific tab.

Features

Selenium Tabs offers a range of features to enhance your web automation tasks:

• Effortless tab management
• Seamless tab switching
• Real-time tab status tracking
• Convenient tab closure
• Built-in functions for scrolling, clicking, waiting for conditions, finding and more
• Access to the underlying Selenium driver object for advanced usage
• Access driver methods directly on tabs
• Automatic User agent selection based on set browser
• Basic steps to avoid getting flagged as an automation script by websites
• Use the all-powerful pyquery object access on each tab
• Execute jquery functions using .jq or .jquery attributes

Usage

To get started with Selenium Tabs, create a Browser object and open tabs using the open method:

Browser

Create a Browser object, specifying the browser name (e.g. "Chrome" or "FireFox"). The project automatically downloads drivers.

from seleniumtabs import Browser, Tab


with Browser(name="Chrome", implicit_wait=10) as browser:
    google = browser.open("https://google.com")
    yahoo = browser.open("https://yahoo.com")
    bing = browser.open("https://bing.com")
    duck_duck = browser.open("https://duckduckgo.com/")

    # Scroll on the page (example)
    yahoo.scroll(times=2)
    yahoo.scroll_to_bottom()

    # Working with tabs
    for tab in browser.tabs:
        print(tab)

    print(browser.tabs)
    print(browser.current_tab)

    # Selecting elements with JQuery (using browserjquery package)
    print(yahoo.jq("a"))

    # Selecting using CSS Selectors (no JQuery needed)
    for item in yahoo.css(".stream-items"):
        for a in item.css("a"):
            print(a, a.text)

    # Some `Tab` attributes/properties
    print(google.title)
    print(google.url)
    print(google.page_source)

    # Closing a tab
    bing.close() # Or browser.close_tab(bing)

    # Switching to a tab
    yahoo.switch()
    google.switch()

    # Accessing the driver object
    print(google.driver.title, google.title) # Should output same value

    # Directly access driver methods and attributes
    print(google.current_window_handle, google.tab_handle)
    google.refresh()

    # PyQuery
    print(google.pyquery.text())
    print(google.pq.size())
