forward

Go forward one entry in the history of this tab or window, like the browser's forward button, and wait until that page is ready (following the pageLoadStrategy capability, like browser.forward()). Other tabs keep their page.

Only a top-level browsing context has its own history, a frame rejects.

Usage

const context = await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
await context.forward()

Example

forward.js

it('goes forward in one tab', async () => {
    const page = await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
    await page.navigate('https://webdriver.io/docs/api')
    await page.back()

    await page.forward()
    console.log(await page.getUrl()) // outputs: "https://webdriver.io/docs/api/"
})
