If the window closes too quickly, switch_to_window is invalid

If the window closes too quickly, switch_to_window is invalid
I have to wait a few seconds

I can't predict how long I will have to wait for my next step, so can there be a waiting period like timeout

self.click("close", timeout=10, delay=1)
self.sleep(3)
self.switch_to_window(-1)

You might be able to close the active window/tab directly, and then switch to the most recent one after that:

self.driver.close()
self.switch_to_window(-1)

On second thought, my idea is impractical, but my business logic is to open a new page and select a portion of the content, which requires interaction with the original page through the close button on the new page, and closing it directly doesn't work

I can't guess what to wait for (or how long) without knowing more information. You'll have to figure that out on your own.

@mdmintz I wrote a use case using the demo page

from seleniumbase import BaseCase

class MyTestClass(BaseCase):
    def test_demo(self):
        self.open("https://seleniumbase.io/realworld/login")
        self.click("//h6[@align='center']//a")
        # Here's an example: After I've finished registering from here, I need to click the close button on a page
        # that says "You have successfully registered."
        self.click("//button[@class='close']")   # Suppose there is a close button on the page
        # If I just use `switch_to_window`
        self.switch_to_window(-1)
        # The following lookup action takes place in https://seleniumbase.io/realworld/signup
        self.find_element("//h4[@class='auth-header']//font//font")

Like this：

from seleniumbase import BaseCase

class MyTestClass(BaseCase):
    def test_demo(self):
        self.open("https://seleniumbase.io/realworld/login")
        self.click("//h6[@align='center']//a")
        # Here's an example: After I've finished registering from here, I need to click the close button on a page
        self.driver.close()
        # If I just use `switch_to_window`
        self.switch_to_window(-1)
        # The following lookup action takes place in https://seleniumbase.io/realworld/signup
        self.find_element("//h4[@class='auth-header']//font//font")
