WebUI.switchToWindowIndex fails

I’m having another issue that may not be user error like my other many issues. :slight_smile:

This command used to work perfectly, but it recently quit. I adapted a test from the Katalon Documentation to showcase the failure.

THANK YOU!

It works fine here. Though I’m not sure why you’re trying to switch to the window that is already the target window.

3

Does your chrome open up the documentation link in a new tab and switch back to the main Katalon page with that code?

Mine simply opens the documentation link in a new tab and fails, while sitting on the documentation page.

I don’t use Chrome. Let me try with that.

What version of Katalon are you using?

7

Katalon: 8.2.5
Chrome: 98.0.4758.82 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I don’t remember if it started happening at that time, but I did change chrome drivers recently. I also remember them not having a driver that matched my chrome exactly.

Maybe?

Like I said, the switches and tab closes used to work for me.

It is working again. I just started changing settings that I had changed in the past.

The default wait time when ie hangs was set at 0 and the wait until the page is loaded button was selected. Making these changes fixed my problem.

I hate to waste more of your time, but could you briefly explain what was causing the error, so I can understand those setting options better?
