Description

The Navigate method opens the specified URL in the running instance of the mobile browser emulator. You typically call this method applied to the VirtualBrowsers.CurrentBrowser object (see the example below).

Declaration

VirtualBrowserInfoObj.Navigate(URL, WaitTime)

VirtualBrowserInfoObj	An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a VirtualBrowserInfo object
URL	[in]	Required	String
WaitTime	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
Result	None

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

VirtualBrowserInfo

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

URL

The URL of the web page to open. Add the protocol (for example, http:// or https://) at the beginning of the URL.

Tip:

You can copy the full URL from the address bar of the web browser in which the needed page is open.

WaitTime

The time, in milliseconds, to wait until the web page is loaded and ready to accept user input. The Navigate method execution finishes once the page is loaded completely or this timeout is reached.

If omitted or -1, the Navigate method uses the project’s Web page loading timeout.

Result Value

None.

Remarks

The Chrome mobile emulator must be previously launched by using the VirtualBrowsers.Item(browser_name).Run method in order for the Navigate method to execute successfully.
The Navigate method logs an event message if it opened the web page successfully, and an error otherwise.

Example

The following example launches the Samsung Galaxy S3 emulator and then opens a web site in it:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
VirtualBrowsers.Item("Samsung Galaxy S3").Run();
VirtualBrowsers.CurrentBrowser.Navigate("http://m.smartbear.com");
}

Python

def Test():
  VirtualBrowsers.Item["Samsung Galaxy S3"].Run();
  VirtualBrowsers.CurrentBrowser.Navigate("http://m.smartbear.com");

VBScript

Sub Test
VirtualBrowsers.Item("Samsung Galaxy S3").Run
VirtualBrowsers.CurrentBrowser.Navigate "http://m.smartbear.com"
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test;
begin
VirtualBrowsers.Item('Samsung Galaxy S3').Run;
VirtualBrowsers.CurrentBrowser.Navigate('http://m.smartbear.com');
end;
