How to un-minimize a browser window with selenium?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I've read through several minimization-related questions using Selenium but nowhere in their documentation does it say how to interface with a window that has been minimized. If you try running the set_window_size() or maximize_window() functions on the driver after minimizing the browser, Selenium throws an exception stating that the window state is invalid for these operations. I find it hard to believe that once you minimize the window you can no longer drive the browser. Has anyone done this?
EDIT: Here's my code:
self.driver.minimize_window()
self.driver.maximize_window()
And here's the traceback I'm seeing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
self.browser.maximize_window()
File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 737, in maximize_window
self.execute(command, params)
File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 321, in execute
self.error_handler.check_response(response)
File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response

Found the answer while going through commit logs: https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/commit/1e1e590542da97f64cf58268940f88aec5ad6697
The solution is to call set_window_rect() on the driver. This will restore the state of the window after minimizing, maximizing, or going fullscreen.
EDIT: The bigger issue here is that the webdriver I'm using isn't w3c-compliant. The above will only work with w3c webdrivers.
