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 that 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.

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

import unittest, time, re

from Funk_Lib import RS

class CreatingEditingDeletingVault(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

        self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)

        self.base_url = "http://cimdev-qa40/"

        self.verificationErrors = []

    def test_creating_editing_deleting_vault(self):

        driver = self.driver

        driver.get(self.base_url + "/Login?contoller=Home")

        driver.find_element_by_id("UserName").click()

        driver.find_element_by_id("UserName").clear()

        driver.find_element_by_id("UserName").send_keys("[email protected]")

        driver.find_element_by_name("Password").click()

        driver.find_element_by_name("Password").clear()

        driver.find_element_by_name("Password").send_keys("Codigo#123")

        driver.find_element_by_id("fat-btn").click()

        driver.get(self.base_url + "/Content/Vaults/")

        driver.find_element_by_link_text("Content").click()

        driver.find_element_by_link_text("Vaults").click()

        driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.btn.dropdown-toggle").click()

        driver.find_element_by_link_text("New vault").click()

        driver.find_element_by_link_text("Rename vault").click()

        driver.find_element_by_name("Id").click()

        Select(driver.find_element_by_name("Id")).select_by_visible_text("Test Vault")

        driver.find_element_by_css_selector("option[value=\"2\"]").click()

        driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button.btn.dropdown-toggle").click()

        driver.find_element_by_link_text("Delete vault").click()

        driver.find_element_by_name("Id").click()

        Select(driver.find_element_by_name("Id")).select_by_visible_text("Test Change")

        driver.find_element_by_css_selector("option[value=\"2\"]").click()

        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@onclick=\"vault_action('deletevault', $('#DeleteVault [name=\\'Id\\']').val(), '')\"]").click()

    def is_element_present(self, how, what):

        try: self.driver.find_element(by=how, value=what)

        except NoSuchElementException, e: return False

        return True

    def tearDown(self):

        self.driver.quit()

Use the below code:

browser = webdriver.Firefox() 

url = 'https://www.intellipaat.com/' 

browser.get(url) 

browser.maximize_window()
