Unable To Close Chrome Tab

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Steve48 431

In line 96 I have closed a Popup successfully.  My flow has two tabs. I want to close this tab after I have just closed a popup.

In line 101 I am using Control F4 to close the foreground window tab but nothing happens, -there is no error here and the flow continues. I have tried various syntax combinations for Control F4 with different brackets and curly braces but nothing has worked. I'm not sure if it is a focus issue. I am trying to avoid using multiple browsers.

Suggestions appreciated. TIA

    I suggest selecting "By title and/or class" in the "Send keys to" option of the Send keys action and specifying the Chrome window to send the keys as shown below.

     

    • Window title: *Google Chrome*
    • Text to send: {Control}({W})

    Hi @kinuasa  That worked. I didn't know you could use * as wildcards and describe the Window title that way. Amazing. Thank you.
