@nathanchilton should be simple to fix, but tagging as help wanted, trying to boost contributions.

a workaround could be to do * var theUrl = script('window.location.href') or equiv

@ptrthomas Thank you for your prompt response!

I tried * def theUrl = script('window.location.href'), but it returns the same value as driver.url. I can run switchPage('Yahoo') and switchPage('Google') in the debug console and see the active tab switching in the browser, but no matter which tab appears to be active, the responses from the driver object's methods and from executing JavaScript, still indicate that they are interacting with the original tab:

@nathanchilton okay, we'll look at it, and hope someone picks it up sooner

Thank you, @ptrthomas!

@nathanchilton it should be fixed. it would be great if you can build from source as I tried to make some fundamental improvements. and note that switchPage(string) is now "retry aware" so you don't need to use a delay. let me know how it goes !

@ptrthomas I just confirmed that this is fixed in v1.1.0.RC2
Thank you!

@nathanchilton Could you please provide details of your POM file as I am facing similar too issue..I havent updated to a latest version before and I am unable to do so..Would be of much help if I know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

@janmenezes28, I'm sorry to be so late to reply to your comment. I learned Java back in the late 90s, before the magic of Maven, and I haven't dedicated the time to learning it yet.

I actually have filed an issue in my backlog to move to using Maven to manage dependencies.

Currently, I am using the stand-alone executable (.jar file) for Karate, and I maintain a directory full of other .jar files for all of our dependencies. So, unfortunately, I do not have a POM file to share with you at this time. I hope you have managed to find a solution by now.

@nathanchilton Thank you for the response and yes I am able to proceed after switching to a newer version..

1.1.0 released

switchpage is still not working even after the 1.1.0 fix . I also validated the same with the older versions 1.1.0.RC4,RC3,RC2 and latest version 1.2.0.RC1 none of them seems working ! Below is the sample script , even after the switchpage statement it return the url of the original tab and none of the element being identified from the new tab !

Script

 Given driver 'https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_win_open'
Then maximize()
When switchFrame('#iframeResult')
 * print 'driver.url before switch----------------', driver.url
And highlight("{}Try it")
And click("{}Try it")
* delay(2000)
And switchPage('https://www.w3schools.com/')
* delay(2000)
* print 'driver.url after switch----------------', driver.url
* highlight("//a[@href='https://www.w3schools.com ']")
* delay(5000) 

Console Log:
