Webdirver Python - open new tab in incognito mode

[Kamil]

Hi, 

is there a way to open new TAB in browser (Firefox, Chrome, whatever...) in incognito mode?

Not from begining of test. I am opening new tabs like this:

 

        # Open additional windows CHECKED
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Presentation view')]").click()
        handles = driver.window_handles
        driver.switch_to_window(handles[0])
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Participant view')]").click()
        handles = driver.window_handles
        driver.switch_to_window(handles[0])
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Participant view')]").click()
        handles = driver.window_handles
        driver.switch_to_window(handles[0])
        driver.find_element_by_xpath("//html/body/div[5]/div[2]/ul/li[4]/a").click()

then I know which one window handle is which TAB, but I need to open some of these TABs in incognito mode.

is it possible?

thank you,

Kamil

I don't think you can on the fly.  It is possible to pass some flags into the webdriver instantiation to start up a webdriver in incognito, but you cannot start in normal mode then switch to incognito.  You might try doing the test first with 1 instance of webdriver in normal, then start a 2nd instance in incognito to take over.

Hi,

Try this code

profile.setPreference("browser.private.browsing.autostart", true);
