Cypress - Tabs
Cypress does not have a specific command to work with tabs. It has a workaround method in jQuery through which it handles the tabs. In the html code, a link or button opens to a new tab, because of the attribute target.
If the target attribute has value blank, it opens to a new tab. Cypress uses the jQuery method removeAttr, which is invoked by the invoke command. The removeAttr deletes the attribute, which is passed as one of the parameters to the invoke method.
Once the target=blank is removed, then a link/button opens in the parent window. Later on after performing the operations on it, we can shift back to the parent URL with the go command.
The Html code for the same is as follows −
Implementation
Given below is the implementation of the use of commands with regards to tabs in Cypress −
describe('Tutorialspoint', function () { // test case it('Scenario 1', function (){ // url launch cy.visit("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/windows") // delete target attribute with invoke for link cy.get('.example > a') .invoke('removeAttr', 'target').click() // verify tab url cy.url() .should('include', 'https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/windows/new') // shift to parent window cy.go('back'); }); });
Execution Results
The output is as follows −
The output logs show the deletion of the target attribute and launch of the new tab within the parent window.
