Synthetics - tracking a new window in browser test

[maddop]

I am using the Synthetics browser test to track availability of our Citrix client application endpoints.

The user journey:

1. access public url
2. sign into account (username, click next, password, click sign-in)
3. click the application icon
4. a new window loads with the application

Everything works great up-to step 3. I cannot figure out how we track the new window. This is the key part, I need to know if this loads successfully. 

I suspect it is not possible based upon reading the documentation but has anyone had a similar issue and successfully solved it?

Hi @livehybrid 

Unfortunately not, its a button CSS + Javascript.  

<button type="button" class="web-ui-component__button  jjui-11138fz" style="display: inline-block;">
<div data-analytics-name="resource-tile" data-testid="sampleApp_Dev" tabindex="-1" class="jjui-vkvk0d ell0llb0">
.............

I can successfully simulate the click of the button using "click" CSS selector 

div[data-testid="sampleApp_Dev"]  

but do not have direct access to the JS. I've traced it in Chrome but it has so many nested calls its challenging to find anything useful

Hi @maddop 

Is the link you're clicking on a regular a/href link with a target=_blank ? 

You may be able to "Execute Javascript" before the click to remove the target from the link, then click as normal?

const links = document.querySelectorAll('a');

// Iterate over each link and remove the 'target' attribute
links.forEach(link => {
  link.removeAttribute('target');
});
