When you interact with an iframe on the webpage during recording, TestCafe Studio automatically adds the Switch Frames actions to the test.

Switch to Iframe

The Switch to Iframe action switches the test's browsing context to a specified iframe. TestCafe Studio performs the subsequent test actions in this iframe until it reaches the Switch to Main Window action in the test.

Parameter Description

Switch to Main Window

The Switch to Main Window action switches the test's browsing context from an iframe back to the main window.

NOTE

TestCafe Studio displays warnings when you reorder Switch Frames actions or move test actions between browsing contexts. After dragging, make sure the actions relate to their appropriate contexts. Otherwise, they can be executed incorrectly.
