Description: After clicking on login there is a window which is displayed to enter the username and password. To enter the credentials, switching to that window is necessary. The index of initial page is 0 and the credentials window is 1. I am trying to switch to that window and it doesn't in safari. It works fine in chrome.
Sample code:
handles = driver.window_handles
size = len(handles)
print (size) // this displays 2(index 0 and 1)
driver.switch_to.window(handles[1])

@jagruthim The handles returned by window_handles is not guaranteed to be in any order. This means that handles[1] is not guaranteed to be the newly opened window. That may not be the cause of the issue, but it’s something you’ll want to account for in your code.

@jimevans I can try to change the code but it works fine in chrome browser.

@jagruthim "It works fine in chrome browser" means nothing more than that you got lucky that the window handles just happened to be returned in that order, this time. It's not cross-browser to assume that, and it's not guaranteed that the driver for Chrome will always behave that way.
