How to switch focus to another window?

[govindn]

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to login to my app but via social login i.e. facebook or google

steps:

• open login url(where various login options present i.e. inbuilt login of app, login via facebook/google)
• click on 'login via facebook'
• a new window open where you have to enter facebook login id and password
• question is : how to switch focus to facebook login window now??

What do you get instead?

is there something like 'switchToNextTab' for switch window as well

@govindn In case the solution proposed by @peterngtr is not sufficient I would suggest having a look over wdio switchWindow and implement it through a helper
https://webdriver.io/docs/api/browser/switchWindow.html

After 2 and a bit years I would hope this has been addressed. Has there been any updates on this? I too have a similar issue but in this case it is making a purchase from a third party checkout window, the basket page greyed out and a new window opens with the checkout form in it, how can you move focus from the background window to the foreground window?
