C# - Open a new tab in an existing browser session using Selenium

To open a new tab in an existing browser session using Selenium in C#, you can use the SendKeys method to send key combinations that trigger the browser's tab opening behavior. Here's how you can do it:

using System; using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Initialize the Chrome driver IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); // Open the initial URL driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com"); // Send key combinations to open a new tab driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("body")).SendKeys(Keys.Control + "t"); // Navigate to a new URL in the new tab driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles[1]); driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com/newpage"); // Close the new tab driver.Close(); // Switch back to the original tab driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles[0]); // Perform actions on the original tab // For example: // driver.FindElement(By.Id("someElementId")).Click(); // Close the browser session driver.Quit(); } }

This code snippet:

  1. Opens a new tab in the existing browser session by sending the key combination "Ctrl + t" using SendKeys.
  2. Switches the WebDriver's focus to the newly opened tab using driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles[1]).
  3. Navigates to a new URL in the new tab.
  4. Closes the new tab using driver.Close().
  5. Switches back to the original tab using driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles[0]).
  6. Finally, it performs actions on the original tab and closes the browser session.

Make sure you have the Selenium WebDriver and appropriate browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver) installed and configured in your project.
