Selemiumbase Driver switches to another tab

[ZoneLover]

After opening those three tabs, the driver switches from the third tab to the second one or the first one.
It doesn't happen with the selenium driver nor the uc_chromedriver.
I managed to reproduce the bug with the following code:
happened on Python 3.9 & 3.11.6

from seleniumbase import Driver
AMAZON_PRIME_LOGIN = "https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin?openid.pape.max_auth_age=3600&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fgaming.amazon.com%2Fprime%2Fsignup%2Feg%3Fingress%3Damzn%26ref_%3Dsm_w_ics_m_f_all&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.assoc_handle=amzn_respawn_desktop_us&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&ssoResponse=eyJ6aXAiOiJERUYiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIiwiYWxnIjoiQTI1NktXIn0.yf9Wgo4I2tZaftdNDV9dGzDE3WBRtCwlofy9T0xdJFn6Z8J9GkkQ2A.YfhrqNQaRSrDgXpJ.5jj055CVEHpYJa2zcCUKxxPSxxcSeVjvQFpUjEP-_kOek_h1S8Zy6jujXVJSGJtsliAleSPGnrlvysESKkSEXnAWFOvJRcE9JepYQJulvu"

driver = Driver(uc= True)
driver.get(AMAZON_PRIME_LOGIN)
driver.switch_to.new_window('tab')
driver.get(AMAZON_PRIME_GAMING)
driver.switch_to.new_window('tab')
driver.get(AMAZON_NUMBER_SETTING)
input()
driver.quit()

Update: it happens only with one of those:
driver = Driver(uc= True)
driver = Driver(undetectable=True)
driver = Driver(undetected= True)

Even regular undetected-chromedriver didn't let you use the standard tab-switching methods as is:

• why can't i control a newly opened tab? ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver#368 (comment)
• driver.execute_script("window.open('...');") doesn't do anything ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver#380 (comment)

Tab-switching works differently in UC Mode. (The standard SeleniumBase formats have additional methods for that.)

Here's an example of that:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    sb.driver.uc_open_with_tab("data:text/html,<h1>Page A</h1>")
    sb.assert_text("Page A")
    sb.open_new_window()
    sb.driver.uc_open_with_tab("data:text/html,<h1>Page B</h1>")
    sb.assert_text("Page B")
    sb.switch_to_window(0)
    sb.assert_text("Page A")
    sb.assert_text_not_visible("Page B")
    sb.switch_to_window(1)
    sb.assert_text("Page B")
    sb.assert_text_not_visible("Page A")

If you need more than one tab open, first call sb.open_new_window(), then call sb.driver.uc_open_with_tab(url). This will maintain window ordering and numbering.

Also note that having more than one tab open at a time will likely lead to Selenium detection, so you're probably better off having only one tab/window open at a time for tests.

@mdmintz
I executed similar code and it generates the same issue,
I didn't clarify the issue properly.
When u execute the code below, the driver switches from the third tab to the first tab which doesn't exist in the code.
This issue doesn't happen on uc_chromedriver nor selenium driver,
This issue only happens when using Seleniumbase with uc mode.
The code that produces the issue:

from seleniumbase import SB
AMAZON_PRIME_LOGIN = "https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin?openid.pape.max_auth_age=3600&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fgaming.amazon.com%2Fprime%2Fsignup%2Feg%3Fingress%3Damzn%26ref_%3Dsm_w_ics_m_f_all&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.assoc_handle=amzn_respawn_desktop_us&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&ssoResponse=eyJ6aXAiOiJERUYiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIiwiYWxnIjoiQTI1NktXIn0.yf9Wgo4I2tZaftdNDV9dGzDE3WBRtCwlofy9T0xdJFn6Z8J9GkkQ2A.YfhrqNQaRSrDgXpJ.5jj055CVEHpYJa2zcCUKxxPSxxcSeVjvQFpUjEP-_kOek_h1S8Zy6jujXVJSGJtsliAleSPGnrlvysESKkSEXnAWFOvJRcE9JepYQJulvu"

Those URLs appear to have redirects in them. It's tricky enough for UC Mode to manage tabs after a disconnect because chromedriver is completely disconnected from Chrome during the disconnect/reconnect process. That can cause tab order to change. Also, UC Mode anti-detection likely won't work when using multiple tabs. Therefore, when using UC Mode, try to run your script using a single tab/window.
