How to activate a specific page

In our test we are trying to not disturb any browser window which is not related to the tested WebSite but if there are multiple instances open of the tested website then close all but one.

Question is after comparing the page URL with the tested website's URL, how to activate the page?

    Hi Shef,


     


    You can click the needed tab like this:




     //JScript


     Sys.Browser("iexplore").BrowserWindow(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton("<URL>").Click();

    Thanks Tanya.

    Unfortunately, it does not work as the object Sys.Browser("iexplore").BrowserWindow(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton("<Url>")does not exists.

    I would like to understand why your suggestion did not work.



    Following is working with the current test -



    if MyPage.contentDocument.title = empty then

       Sys.Browser("iexplore").BrowserWindow(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton(MyPage.contentDocument.domain).Click

    else

       Sys.Browser("iexplore").BrowserWindow(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton(MyPage.contentDocument.title).Click

    end if

    Had assumed that URL had to be replaced with actual URL.

    Do you think without replacing URL, it would work?

    Hi Shef,



    Assuming that you already have the reference to the page and using the code Tanya posted some time ago in another thread (untested VBScript pseudocode):




     '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


     ' Returns BrowserWindow object that corresponds to the given page object

     ' From: http://smartbear.com/forums/f75/t83264/how-to-match-a-page-object-to-its-browserwindow

     Function BrowserWindowByPageGet(ByRef page)

       Const cProcName = "BrowserWindowByPageGet"

       Dim cProcNameMsgPrefix : cProcNameMsgPrefix = cUnitNameMsgPrefix & cProcName & "(): "


       Dim title

       Dim wnd


       Set wnd = Utils.CreateStubObject

       If (Not IsNull(page)) Then

         If (0 = aqString.Compare(page.ObjectType, "Page", False)) Then

           title = page.contentDocument.title

           Set wnd = page.Parent.FindChild("WndCaption", title & "*")

           If (Not wnd.Exists) Then

             Set wnd = page.Parent.FindChild("WndCaption", Project.Variables.pvtBaseURL)

           End If

         End If

       End If

       Set BrowserWindowByPageGet = wnd

     End Function

     '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

       Call BrowserWindowByPageGet(page).Activate

     

     Is this what you were looking for?

     Here an option for who working with windows and not tabs:

     

     function switchToPage(expectedPage){


       


       expectedPage += " - Google Chrome";


       


       var pages = Sys.Process("chrome").FindAll("ObjectType","BrowserWindow").toArray();


      


       for(var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++){


         if (pages.Caption == expectedPage){


           pages.Activate();


           return;


         }


       }


       


       Log.Error("Page not founded");


      


     }
