Playwright · Junior · Question 57 of 75

How do you work with a link that opens a new tab?

const pagePromise = context.waitForEvent("page");
await page.getByText("Open docs").click();
const newPage = await pagePromise;

1New tabs can't be tested, so remove target
2Wait for the context's page event while clicking
3Use page.switchTo().window(1) after the click

Show the answer

Correct answer: Wait for the context's page event while clicking

Explanation

Start waiting before the click so the event isn't missed. The new page is a normal Page you can assert on.
