Question

I am using Selenium 4.0.0-alpha-3, webdrivermanager 3.7.1 , Chrome Browser 79 , Chrome driver 4.0.0-alpha-3 , JAVA

code look like:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("www.Url1.com");     
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);
// below code line is throwing error
driver.get("www.Url2.com");

downloaded Maven dependencies, this is what I downloaded -

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
    <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
    <version>3.7.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>

thanks for your reply. I made a mistake here for URL. I was giving "www.google.com" and I was seeing issue. During troubleshoot I changed this URL to "h tt ps://www.google.com/" and worked for me perfectly. I thought since it's Alpha version so acting weird. thanks — Mike ASP

Instead of running another driver.get() try running it with driver.execute_script("replace.window.location{"www.Url2.com"}")
