I need Selenium to open it's web browser in a larger resolution ( preferably maximized)

Question

I am using Selenium WebDriver and coding in Python

I have looked all over the place and the best I could find were things written in different languages. I also tried to use the export tool on Selenium IDE but when I look at the data says that the function is not supported for export.

EDIT: The reason I need the browser to open up with a larger resolution is because the web application that I am testing is supporting tablet resolution as so elements are different depending on the resolution of the browser window.

This is the script I exported from the IDE with a couple of modifications.

Answer 1

Selenium 2.31.0

driver = webdriver.Firefox()  # Resize the window to the screen width/height driver.set_window_size(300, 500)  # Move the window to position x/y driver.set_window_position(200, 200) 

Answer 2

browser = webdriver.Firefox() url = 'http://www.google.com/' browser.get(url) browser.maximize_window()
