TestCafe Runner - Is it possible to perform testing in several browser windows?

[anon97703142]

I need to handle tab switch in my test.
The scenario look like this:
- search for inventory
- get list of inventory
- select the inventory (this will open a new tab)
I need to handle the new tab to continue the test.

Is the testcafe can handle switch tab in the same browser window?

Hi,

For now TestCafe runs tests in a single tab, it always opens each page in the same tab. But we are going to implement this feature: Add ability to perform testing in multiple browser windows

Has there been any update on this ticket? Does Testcafe have functionality to open a new tab within a browser to execute automated tests?

Hi,

Do you have an update regarding this?

I'm not sure I understand the use case here - does this mean that the test needs to interact with multiple tabs simultaneously or simply navigate to newly opened tabs? The latter seems to work for me with no problem.

TestCafe still does not support testing in several browser windows. I suggest you subscribe to the following GitHub thread to be notified of our progress:

In my case I need to open a new tab, do some actions in it, switch back to the first tab make some assertions and repeat the process. I wasn't able to do this.

At present, TestCafe does not support this scenario. It always opens each page in the same tab.
