Accessing DOM when writing unit test

[Ben McCann]

I'm trying to write a unit test to help get a bug fixed where a tab open event is incorrectly firing. The tab events test is currently calling utils.openTab in order to open a new tab. I need to click a link within that tab. Is there a way I can access the DOM from the object returned by utils.openTab in order to click the link?

Thanks,

Ben

Looks like (according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/tab#Methods, untested) you should be able to use

tab = utils.openTab(...);
if (tab) {

link = tab.querySelector('a[href*=part/of/the/link]');
if (link) {

link.click();

}

}

Does that help?
