ATF 'Click UI Action' Step Not Navigating to New Tab (CAB Workbench UI Action)

Hi all , 

  I have an ATF test in my ServiceNow instance that includes a 'Click UI Action' step. The UI action is "Go to this meeting in CAB Workbench", and its default behavior is to open the CAB Workbench page in a new browser tab.

However, when I run the test using the 'ATF client test runner', the step passes, but the execution frame stays in the same tab. The new tab does not open or get tracked in the execution.

📌 My issue:

  • In a real scenario, clicking the UI action opens a new page in a new tab.

  • In ATF execution, the new tab is not opened or controlled, so I can't test any steps on that page.

  • First image shows the UI Action behavior on the form.

  • Second image shows the ATF step setup and execution result.

Question:
How can I test or automate steps in the newly opened page from the UI action using ATF? Is there any way to track or handle new tab navigation within ATF?

I don't think ATF supports opening in new tab and verifying that.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
