await browser.forward()

The await browser.forward() function in ShadowdriverJS is used to navigate forward to the next page in the browser's history. This function is similar to the forward() function in WebDriverJS.

Syntax​

await browser.forward();

Returns​

  • A promise that will be resolved when the navigation forward operation is complete.

Example​

Here is an example of how to use await browser.forward() to navigate forward a page:

// Navigate forward to the next page
// Perform actions after navigation
await browser.forward().then(function() {
    console.log('Navigated forward to the next page.');
});

In this example, the browser will navigate forward to the next page in its history, and then a message will be logged to the console indicating that the navigation has been performed.

Notes​

  • The browser.forward() function will wait for the page to load completely before resolving the promise.
  • You can chain other browser commands after browser.forward() to perform actions on the new page loaded.

See Also​

  • await browser.refresh(): Refreshes the currently loaded page.
  • await browser.getTitle(): Retrieves the title of the current page after forward navigation or refresh.
  • await browser.get(url): Navigates to a specified URL.
