Trying to controll tabs

[honzajde]

Hello, I am trying to follow/use your example to open link in a newly activated tab. However link always open in already existing tab. What I am doing wrong?

	err = remote.SetControlNavigation(true)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// create new tab
	tab, err := remote.NewTab("https://www.google.com")
	log.Printf("%+v\n", tab)

	// navigate in existing tab
	err = remote.ActivateTab(tab)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	_, err = remote.Navigate("https://www.google.com") // navigates different tab
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	err = remote.CloseTab(tab) // closes tab that I openned, ok
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

A couple of things:

• SetControlNavigation may not do what you thing it does (and actually doesn't seem to work with devtools just yet)

• Found a bug in "NewTab" that actually wasn't opening the new page. Should be fixed now.

• I am not sure is not working in your example. My test application seems to be working as I would expect.

I have added a couple of new options to my test application:

--tab N allows you to select a specific tab (use --tabs to figure out in which order the tabs are returned)

--new always create a new tab and open a new page in it.

Try my test application and see how it works. If you still have problem you should send some more details information (the list of open tabs, what tab you are trying to activate, etc.)

Thank you @raff. I have tried your example and that works. However this still does not do what I expect. I am just trying to open a new tab with google and immediately change it's content to cnn. (It looks quite awkward to get list of Tabs when I just received Tab fro the NewTab method. Besides there is no documentation that restricts the use of the received Tab. Maybe this is just another bug... I hope you get me on this.)

	// create new tab
	tab, err := remote.NewTab("https://www.google.com")
	log.Printf("%v\n", tab)

	// activate created tab 
	err = remote.ActivateTab(tab)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// navigate created tab - navigates wrong tab
	_, err = remote.Navigate("https://www.cnn.com")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

Ok, I think I know what's going on.

It looks like when switching between tabs I also needs to connect to the correct websocket (and disconnect from the previous one).

Will try to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Please update and try again. Let me know if this works and/or if you find any other problem.

Now it's opening in the same tab as expected. Tested. OK.
