Window Actions

This Node Is Deprecated — This version of the node has been replaced with a new and improved version. The old version is kept for backwards-compatibility, but for all new workflows we suggest to use the version linked below.

This node allows you to switch between windows or tabs, open new windows or tabs, and close them.

Note that when you use e.g. a “Click” node which opens a new window, Selenium will not automatically switch to that window – i.e. per default all interactions which you perform will go to the original window. Use this node to switch between windows or tabs.

In case you try to switch to a non-existing window, this node will throw an error.

Options

WebDriver Input: Input column which provides the WebDriver(s)
Switch to window/tab with title: Switch to the first window or tab where the page <title> matches the given regular expression. For example, to switch to a window or tab with the title “My Page - Home” you can use the regular expression .* - Home.
Switch to window/tab with URL: Switch to the first window or tab where the current URL matches the given regular expression.
Switch to window/tab by index: Switch to a tab or window by index – the first window has an index of 0, further tabs or windows are numbered sequentially in the order of their creation.
Switch to next window/tab: Switch to the tab or window which was created after the current one.
Switch to previous window/tab: Switch to the tab or window which was created before the current one.
Get current window/tab handle as flow variable: Create a flow variable with an identifier for the current window or tab; this allows you to switch back at a later stage.
Switch to window/tab by handle: Switch to a window or tab based on an identifier that was created before using the option “Get current window/tab handle as flow variable”.
Close current window/tab: Closes the current window or tab and switches back to the most recent one.
Open new window: Opens and switches to a new window.
Open new tab: Opens and switches to a new tab.
