I'm trying to open a link by clicking on it using capybara/poltergeist which opens up in a new tab.
I can't seem to get it working.
@session.find(<link>).click
just seems to stay on the same page, as does
click_link "<link>"
@session.driver.window_handles
Only seems to give me 1 window whatever I'm doing.
How do I get that link to open in a new tab?
Seems to be a fair amount of confusion as to what works or doesn't a la (With Capybara, how do I switch to the new window for links with "_blank" targets?).
Hoping somebody has worked it out... Can't seem to get my head around it.
Ok. By updating to the latest version of poltergeist (1.6.0) we have some progress.
Now however I have two windows but no idea how to switch between them.
@session.windows
gives me
[Window @handle="0", Window @handle="1"] (slightly modified as it was going a bit funny).
But
@session.switch_to_window(1)
results in
NoMethodError: undefined method `handle' for "1":String
Right, as of Feb 5th 2014 and v1.6 of poltergeist, you can do this, as ...
@session.click_on "link_with_target _blank"
@session.switch_to_window(@session.windows.last)
#Do whatever you're doing
@session.current_window.close
@session.switch_to_window(@session.windows.first)
Hope that clears things up for somebody...
