Can you please provide a sample code snippet to reproduce this problem?

[zabil]

From the code it looks like and error parsing the url's

const urlHrefPath = parsedUrl.protocol.concat('//').concat(trimCharLeft(host, '/'));

Can you be specific about the arguments passed to 2? If the info is sensitive, please share something that is similar in structure.

I am switching tabs using Title. For example on executing 1st step it opens a new tab with Title ABC, I am using await switchTo(/ABC/)

Also my main concern is after step5, where the newly opened tab is closed after successful authorization and script is throwing navigation timeout error

As a workaround for step2 I am using keyboard controls to shift focus on other tab

@saikrishna321 @zabil --> Could you please help here as I don't see any workaround after performing step5

I think that issue was fixed in the newer versions of Taiko. Can you share what version of node js and taiko you are on?

Hi, I am facing the same issue. My node js version is v14.17.1 and taiko version is 1.2.7. Would appreciate the help. Thank you.
