I have a weird issue with getURL.
I'm using the following command in an AS2 project and it's popping up a new window (without toolbars etc) instead of opening an entirely new tab in my browser. Is there a setting or something in cs 5.5 or is it something to do with the embed code? I've never seen this before!
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
There s no any new settings for as2 on cs5.5.

I am using robot framework+python+selenium to create an automation framework.
I am stuck at this point.
On this website. When the link 'a' is clicked, a new tab is opened. On this new new I want to test functionality. My problem is I'm not sure how to change the focus from one tab to another. I tried the switch browser keyword as well as the select window keyword. No luck.
You can make use of the following code change focus of the windows using selenium2Library.
#{windows_num} = List Windows
${nWindows} = Get Length ${windows_num}
${latest_window} = Evaluate ${nWindows}-1
Select Window #{windows_num}[${latest_window}]
Found a simple solution here, that worked for me:

I would like my new tabs created with command-T to open immediately to the right of my current tab, not all the way to the right. I've looked at a lot of tutorials online, but I haven't seen any that work with the internals of Safari like this. How can this be done?
Try this Safari extension: http://canisbos.com/taboptions. It's old but still works on latest Safari.
I'm working on a project using WebKitGTK and I'm having trouble with the WebInspector after having enabled it using the enable-developer-extras property.
I can open it fine, but when I click the close, pop-out into own window, or switch to sidebar buttons they don't do anything. In my application there's literally no way to close WebInspector once you've opened it.
It doesn't appear to be anything I've changed in my code because I remember it working before, but when I check those commits from Git they're now broken as well. At the same time however it does look like something I'm doing because other applications on my computer using WebKitGTK have their WebInspector working perfectly (and yes, I checked out their code).
So my question is: Has anyone faced a similar issue? And does anyone have an idea how it might be fixed?
You're probably hitting this bug. Workaround is to add a dummy call to webkit_web_view_get_inspector somewhere.
There are two parts of switching tabs on chrome (and possibly other drivers too).
You first have to switch the context that the driver is working on, and in my case I also have to change the view so that a certain tab is focused.
You use to be able to just send the short cut keys (ctrl + tab, ctrl + t, etc) to manage switching the views, however that was changed recently.
After causing me a headache for this, and not really finding any good answers to fix this, I came up with some work arounds.
Opening
You use to be able to create tabs on chrome by sending keys the shortcut to the page using the driver. However, it appears that doesn't work any more. Opening tabs in an alternate way is actually fairly easy, by using some Javascript:
((JavascriptExecutor)webdriver).executeScript("window.open();");
You then have to switch the context to the new window you just opened. You do this by using the webdriver.switchTo() method (plenty of documentation on this)
Switching
Another challenge that I faced was switching tabs after the chrome update made it impossible to just use shortcuts. I originally tried using Javascript to give the window a name like:
window.name = 'foo'
And then on a different tab you could do:
window.open('', 'foo')
and it would switch tabs correctly. However the issue with that it would work fine when you are sending it via console, but for whatever reason it would not work when sending it through the JavascriptExecutor.
I found a work around however. It is kind of hacky, but I do not see an alternative as of now. First you want to switch the context to whatever tab you want to be on using the window handles (again plenty of other posts explain how to do this, so I will not go into detail how to get the correct handle) doing this:
webdriver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
This makes it so now the webdriver is on that tabs context. Then to actually switch the view so that it is synchronized with the context you have to do a bit of a hack. What you do is you open an alert on the context you want to switch views to, and then close the alert. This happens fairly quick so you will not even see the alert open.
((JavascriptExecutor) webdriver()).executeScript("window.alert('Horrible hack to switch tabs')");
webDriver().switchTo().alert().accept();
Closing
Closing is actually very easy. All you do is:
webdriver.close();
I'm using the Selenium Client drivers to run tests built in C#. I'm having a problem where the test navigates to a page and clicks on a button in a form with its target set to _blank causing it to open a new window. However the new page being opened returns an XML document and not a typical webpage. Selenium seems to have trouble with this because it hangs when the button is click and the new window opens. No instructions after the click method are executed. The test eventually fails with the error Timed out running command.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated. I've scoured the net but haven't seen anyone running into this particular issue of the page being opened not being a typical webpage which I think is the core of the problem as Selenium can't really manipulate this new opened window. I would post code except that literally all I'm doing is calling the click method on a button which causes a new window to open. Thanks in advance.
To tackle the issue of opening in new window. I typically get url of the link which is to be opened and instead of using selenium.click(), I use:
selenium.open("http://yourwebsite/yourlink")
This helps me to be on the same window only(which avoids opening new window or tab) and when the testing is finished on this page and you want to switch back to original page you can again use:
selenium.open("http://whatever/")
