Hi,

I can't quite get your module to work. I am trying to use it in conjunction with webdriverJS. I have the following code:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
    By = webdriver.By,
    until = webdriver.until,
    robot = require('robotjs'),
    key = webdriver.Key,
    Application = require('jxa').Application;

var driver = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();

driver.get("http://news.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();

function addTab(){
    var chrome = Application("Chrome");
    var window = chrome.windows[0];
    console.log("The window name is: " + window.name());
    var tab = chrome.Tab({url:"http://www.yahoo.com"});
    window.tabs.push(tab); 
    window.currentTab = tab;    
}

driver.sleep(6000).then(function(){
    addTab();
})

    driver.sleep(20000);
    driver.quit();

If I use jxa-node REPL This works until window.tabs.push(tab) which throws the command failed error. Any idea what's causing this?

Unfortunately due to the nature of how the module works under the hood, only simple JS objects can be passed as arguments. As such, passing a chrome.Tab breaks in..interesting ways.

My other module, osa2, should be able to handle this just fine. Apologies for the confusion!

Interesting....will try osa2 thanks!
