<'WebDriver'>.switchTo().frame(<'frameId'>) not working with Chrome driver

Question

Need to access elements inside a modal iframe.

Below code works perfectly fine for FireFox driver while fails for Chrome -

String frameId = null;
List<WebElement> frameSet = driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));  
for (WebElement frameName : frameSet){  
    if(!(frameName.getAttribute("id").isEmpty()) && (frameName.getAttribute("id").contains("DlgFrame"))){
            frameId = frameName.getAttribute("id");
        }
}

try {
    Thread.sleep(10000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }

Logger.info("Switch to Frame - "+frameId);
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id(frameId)));

Does Chrome driver support switchTo.frame(<'frameId'>)?

Error while using Chrome Driver -

Answer 1

I don't know if this will help anyone, but I was having a similar issue polling frames and this is what the solution was for me.

Switch to DefaultContent():

_driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();

Get the frames:

IWebElement iFrames = _driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//iframe"));

Poll through the frames, but only switch to it if "Displayed" is true:

foreach (var frame in iFrames)
{
    if (!frame.Displayed)
        continue;

    _driver.SwitchTo().Frame(frame);
}

ChromeDriver supports switchTo since it implements the WebDriver Interface. It works fine for me.

You have to do it like this:

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.id("frameId")));
//do your stuff
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
