Open a new tab in an existing browser session using Selenium
Sending Keys.Control + "t" didn't work for me. I had to do it with javascript and then switch to it.
((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("window.open();");driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());
To handle new tab you should switch to it first. Try following:
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("body")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t");driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com")Also you might need to switch back:
driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.First());
This may not works:
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("body")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t");Alternative: Find clickable element with target blank (search for "blank" in page's surce code). This will open new tab.
Than switch between tabs (thanks @Andersson) with:
driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.First());
