Closing new window in Selenium

Question

I have written the following code to open a google map window get it's url then close it and perform the actions on my previous window:

        try 
          {

           String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();
            element("icon_google_map").click();
            for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles())
             {
                driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
             }
           Thread.sleep(9000);
            String currentURL = driver.getCurrentUrl();
            logMessage(currentURL);
            String expectedURL="xyz";
            Assert.assertEquals(currentURL, expectedURL);
            logMessage(currentURL);
            driver.close();
            driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);
            return true;
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        return false;
    }

The code above opens the map window but does not close it,instead it shows the following error when i perform the action on previous window.

Error: org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchWindowException: no such window: target window already closed

you are closing the driver before switching so selenium can't find the window.

do switching first then close the driver.

driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);

driver.close();

Won't switching before closing,would close the parent window? – Rishu Saxena Aug 13 '15 at 09:36

Check the below line of code

for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles())
             {
                driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
             }

You are not switching to right window. You can do so by switching to second window like this.

driver.switchTo().window(getWindowHandles()[1]);

I am successfully switching to correct window the only problem is the new google map window is not closing . – Rishu Saxena Aug 13 '15 at 09:49
if i am not wrong, then in your case, the parent window is getting closed. – HemChe Aug 13 '15 at 09:55

Below code will switch the new window and will also the Google MAP window

for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles())
             {
               driver.switchTo().window(getWindowHandles()[1]);
               driver.close();  // This will close the new open window
             }
