How to handle new window?

[overflowz]

I need to access new window from nightmare and manipulate it as I do in main window. Is that even possible?

nightmare
  .goto('http://website.com/')
  .click('button[id="mybutton"]') // this actually opens new window/tab whatever.
  .type('input[type="text"]', 'hello world') // I want this to happen on new window, how?
  .then(function () { console.log('all done'); })
  .catch(function (err) { console.log(err); });

basic html:

<button id="mybutton" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://website.com/', '_blank');">click me</button>
<input type="text"></input>

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I've searched same questions here, but isn't there any workaround? If not, can I just block opening new window and load the new page into the current one?

EDIT2: I've noticed, that if you specify show: false opening new tab/window is shown by default. Any thoughts about this? It's getting annoying though.

Out of the box? no. Dealing with multiple instances of BrowserWindow isn't currently supported in Nightmare. (Memory serving, it's one of the features talked about for a future version in #593.)

You can kind of skirt this issue now, but it depends largely on what you need. I'd suggest checking out nightmare-window-manager. It's limited, but might be enough to help you skate by.

Thanks for the reply! I've tried nightmare-window-manager too, but still I'm facing second issue. no matter if I specify show: false new window always opens up visible.

Moving this to nightmare-window-manager.
