Is there a way to physically close a tab via Protractor or WebDriver?
I ask because while I know how to switch tabs programmatically, but it does not bring the active tab to the foreground. I can't always tell what is going on in my E2E tests that run on SauceLabs because when I view the screen casts it is showing the tab that I navigated away from, not the active one.
Am I going about this incorrectly?
it('should do something in the previous tab', function(done) {
browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(function (handles) {
browser.switchTo().window(handles[0]);
// do something
expect(something).toEqual(thisThing);
done();
});
});
You can try the following:
Switch back to the first window.
browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(function (handles) {
browser.driver.switchTo().window(handles[1]);
browser.driver.close();
browser.driver.switchTo().window(handles[0]);
});
