Switching between one tab to another

Hi All,

I want to switch from one tab in the google chrome browser to another and then take the information from one tab of the google chrome browser and pass this to another tab and so forth. I’ve been trying to use attach window activity for that but it is not staying in the indicated tab of the browser instead it is going back to the first tab, and my code is continuously failing.
Please suggest me with this.

Try using hover activity on an element on the tab you want to go to…then that particular tab will be activated

And I hope the tab names are different

you can use them to differentiate

cheers

Hi @Tanya_Verma

Better to use the use application\browser activity for that. For the first website give one use application\browser and another webpage redirecting give another use application\browser. Open the properties of open application\browser activity and keep the window attach mode to single window for both.

Note - Use appliation\browser activity is the Modern design activities.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @Tanya_Verma

Try using 2 open browser activity and in the first open browser mention the URL you want to extract the information and within the first open browser activity use another open browser activity and mention the next URL and place all the necessary activities need to be done in second Tab.

Show your code and selectors. You should be using Use Application/Browser to attach to the tab you want. As long as the selectors are correct so that the tabs are uniquely identified, it will stay on the tab you want.

HI All, I have a similar issue, but the second tab opens automatically during the operations on the first, original tab, and the URL of the second tab is autogenerated with random characters involved. I already managed to switch between tabs a few times using a “Use app/browser” activity in the first one, but the second activity’s Browser URL field is hardcoded, so when new random characters are generated within the second tab’s URL, then the process does not shift focus to the second tab.

I am looking through the user support forum for a way to collect the second tab’s URL once it is created from the first tab’s operation, so that we may use it within the “Use App/Browser” activity as a variable string.

Is there a way to get a second tab’s URL from a current tab?

@Alvin_Hili did you find the solution for this issue?

Yes, the solution as per uploaded image. Instead of using the URL of the newly opened tab, or a var containing the URL, since it was generating random cahractes, in (1), we specified the window/tab name in the Selector field in (2).
