Legacy | Browser open

  • Command: browser

  • Subcommand: open

  • Supported Platforms: Native (legacy), UFT (legacy), Selenium, Appium

    All commands must be executed using the same framework. Sharing the execution ID between different frameworks is not possible. This means that if you work with a Selenium/Appium driver, you need to call the commands using the Selenium/Appium driver (or, in the case of Reporting commands, through the Reporting SDK that works with the driver) and not as part of a UFT test or another framework.

  • Supported OS: Android, iOS

Description

Opens the browser. This is done with a direct native command to the device OS, and not with navigation. Supported for Chrome, Safari, and instrumented hybrid apps.

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.
