I have the following lines in my feature file: 

Given I have website "www.google.co.uk" When I click the website "www.google.co.uk" Then "www.google.co.uk" page is opened in a new window

I am struggling to find a way to test that the webpage is definately opened in a new window.

Currently I have been using this in my step def: 

Then /url "([^"]*)" is opened in new window/ do |url| browser = page.driver.browser current_id = browser.window_handle tab_id = page.driver.find_window(url) browser.switch_to.window tab_id page.driver.browser.close browser.switch_to.window current_id end

but this still passes the test if the webpage is loaded on the same page, I want it to fail if the webpage is loaded on the same window/tab.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

I see no assertions in your test.

My approach would be to test size of window_handles array after performing clicking action on the link, since before clicking the size should equal 1 and after the clicking window_handles should equal 2.

assert page.driver.browser.window_handles.size == 2

Imho, good enough, since if the webpage is loaded in the same tab, the size will be 1 and the test will fail.

CHeers for that mate. That was perfect. I am just starting out with cucmber+capybara and agile tbh. But again thanks for your help, it has cleared up other things for me too.
