How to open url in a new tab in the existing browser instance

  • 1.  How to open url in a new tab in the existing browser instance

    Hi Team,

    Greetings!

    While trying to automate a business process, I've the requirement to open URL in a new tab from the SSO login completed browser.

    Recorder is not capturing the URL being opened in a new tab.

    Kindly share the command to open a new tab in the existing browser.

    I'd have preferred to use already logged in browser instance for automating the task. 

    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/automation/discussion/any-update-on-attaching-to-already-open-chromeedgefirefox-browsers

    As per the update in the above link, IBM RPA – cannot associate with already opened browser.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Best

    DB

    I found a way to open the new tab in the browser using "webExecuteJavaScript" command.

    However that did not resolve the issue as the new tab didn't become active tab for RPA tool.

    I finally met the requirement through using a different Url that indicates SSO Login completed already.

    Hope this helps some one.
