Browser go to (FR)

Perfecto Command

mobile:browser:goto

Purpose

Opens the browser application and browses to the specified location. This is done with a direct native command to the device OS, and not with navigation.

No validation is performed. The green success status confirmation within the execution report does not validate that the browser was opened; rather, it validates that the native command request was successfully received by the device OS.

The URL page will not refresh if the browser go to function is used with the same URL consecutively. To ensure that the URL page is reloaded, use the Browser open function followed by the Browser go to function.
