Get current url of second tab using selenium?

I try to get the current url using the following code -

import time
import os, sys
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

print(f"Program name: {os.path.basename(__file__)}")  
TRIAL = True   
BREAK_OUT = 10    
SAVE_INTERVAL = 1
WAIT = 1
path = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])) 

  
print(f"Checking Browser driver...")
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")  
options.add_argument('--use-gl=swiftshader')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
options.add_argument('--enable-unsafe-swiftshader')

srv=Service()
driver = webdriver.Chrome (service=srv, options=options)    
waitWD = WebDriverWait (driver, 10)         

link = f"https://www.solrenview.com/" 
driver.get (link)       
waitWD.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[@id='gMapsFr']")))          
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", waitWD.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//label[@for="ByInstaller"]'))))    
time.sleep(0.5)
waitWD.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,'//input[@id="searchBox"]'))).clear()
time.sleep(0.5)
waitWD.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,'//input[@id="searchBox"]'))).send_keys("Barrier Solar Inc.")
time.sleep(0.5)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", waitWD.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//div[@id="autoSuggestionsList"]//li'))))    
time.sleep(3)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", waitWD.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, f'(//a[contains(text(), "Double E")])[{1}]'))))    

currentURL = driver.current_url

print(currentURL)
input("Press!")

As you can see when running the code a second tab is opening with the url

https://www.solrenview.com/SolrenView/mainFr.php?siteId=5746

is opening.

When i run the program i allways only get this output:

https://www.solrenview.com/

How can i get this url from the second (active) tab?

Solution

It seems Selenium doesn't switch automatically to this tab.

But you can do it manually

last = driver.window_handles[-1]

driver.switch_to.window(last)

print(driver.current_url)

Doc: Working with windows and tabs | Selenium

Other method:

Because every link looks like <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="SiteUrlFunc(6124);">7502 Colonial</a> (with number 6124) and when I click it then it opens new tab with url which has the same number 6124 - so you can also generate this url without opening tab

link = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f'(//a[contains(text(), "Double E")])[{1}]')

onclick = link.get_attribute('onclick')
print('on_click:', onclick)

number = onclick.replace("SiteUrlFunc(", "").replace(");", "")
print('number:', number)

print(f"https://www.solrenview.com/SolrenView/mainFr.php?siteId={number}")
