driver.title not working in selenium webdriver with python

There is button which on clicking navigates to facebook login page and I want to confirm it navigates properly using selenium. However on button click the facebook login opens in a new tab but the driver.title returns the title of previous tab (where the button is present).

def test_01_facebook(self):
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//i[@class='fa fa-facebook-square']").click()
        title = self.driver.title
        self.assertTrue("Facebook" == self.driver.title) 
        print (title)

Alternatively I could compare the url using driver.current_url but the issue is the new tab url has a lengthy string after https://www.facebook.com/login.php?.

Since the facebook is opened in a new tab, so you need switch to the new tab first, please try below code:

 self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//i[@class='fa fa-facebook-square']").click()
 windowHandle = self.driver.window_handles
 for windowId in self.driver.window_handles:
      if not windowId==windowHandle
          self.driver.switch_to.window(windowId);

 title = self.driver.title
 self.assertTrue("Facebook" == self.driver.title) 
 print (title)

To extract the Page Title from the newly opened TAB i.e. Facebook – log in or sign up you need to:

  • Switch the focus to the newly opened TAB inducing WebDriverWait
  • You need to induce WebDriverWait again for the Page Title to render.

  • You can use the following solution:

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def test_01_facebook(self):
    windows_before  = driver.current_window_handle
    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//i[@class='fa fa-facebook-square']").click()
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.number_of_windows_to_be(2))
    windows_after = driver.window_handles
    new_window = [x for x in windows_after if x != windows_before][0]
    driver.switch_to_window(new_window)
    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.title_contains("log in"))
    self.assert "Python" in driver.title
    print (title)

If LogIn page opens in new tab, you should wait for new tab and switch to it to check title:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait as wait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def test_01_facebook(self):
    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//i[@class='fa fa-facebook-square']").click()
    current = self.driver.current_window_handle
    wait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.new_window_is_opened(self.driver.window_handles))
    self.driver.switch_to.window([w for w in self.driver.window_handles if w != current][0])
    title = self.driver.title
    self.assertTrue("Facebook" == self.driver.title) 
    print (title)

You might also switch back to main window using

self.driver.switch_to.window(current)
