switchWindow not working with Safari when using remote Selenium

[kretschmannj]

The switchWindow command is sending a 'handle' parameter rather than the expected 'name' parameter to the safari 'window' command. Here's the verbose output ...

→ Running command: switchWindow ('page-5967FDB0-FA72-4BE1-81C7-6E9A90FDDDBD')

 → Running command: window ('POST', 'page-5967FDB0-FA72-4BE1-81C7-6E9A90FDDDBD', [Function])
   Request POST http://hub.lambdatest.com /wd/hub/session/97B9D4DF-1D8C-4E05-92B4-A97EF0A5C374/window  
   { handle: 'page-5967FDB0-FA72-4BE1-81C7-6E9A90FDDDBD' }
   Response 400 POST http://hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub/session/97B9D4DF-1D8C-4E05-92B4-A97EF0A5C374/window (347ms)
Request body does not contain required parameter 'name'.

Here's my code snippet ...

    before : (browser) => {
        browser.url("https://alaska.magellanrx.com/")
        browser.verify.elementPresent('ul+ span')
        browser.windowHandles( handles => { // doesn't work in firefox or Safari 12+
            console.log(handles)
            browser.switchWindow(handles.value[0]) // doesn't work in safari
        })
    },

Safari version 11 Nightwatch version 1.4.2

Could be related: switching frames seems broken in a similar way.

Safari 14 / Nightwatch 1.4.2

Can the priority be bumped up on this? Unless someone has a workaround, there is no way to switch windows in Safari. Again, the problem appears to be that Safari driver is expecting a 'name' parameter but Nightwatch is sending a 'handle' parameter.

@kretschmannj @ArpitLT works fine on local Safari 14 and Firefox.

@beatfactor Did you run the code snippet I included above? I just tried to run this code on Safari 14 and got this error ...

@kretschmannj The windowHandles command works fine on Safari and Firefox when run locally. You didn't make any mention that you're using as a cloud provider, as I can see from your log, and also didn't include any config (as it is required in the bug report template). This makes it quite difficult to identify the problem.

@beatfactor Good to know that you're able to test Safari locally. I'm on Windows and unfortunately don't have the ability to test Safari on my local machine, so we're running the test on the LambdaTest grid. Here's the nightwatch.conf.js ....

nightwatch_config = {
  src_folders: ["tests"],
  page_objects_path: ["framework/pages"],
  custom_commands_path: ['custom_commands'],
  custom_assertions_path: ['custom_assertions'],
  test_settings: {
    default: {
      selenium_host: "hub.lambdatest.com",
      selenium_port: 80,
      username: 'kretschmannj',
      access_key: '---------------------------------------------',
    },
    safari: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        "platform" : "High Sierra",
        "browserName" : "Safari",
        "version" : "latest",
        "resolution" : "1920x1080",
        "safari.cookies" : true
      }
    }
  }
}
module.exports = nightwatch_config

This issue has been fixed on the LambdaTest side by applying custom translations.

Safari 14 / Nightwatch 1.4.2
