Close specific tab from multiple tabs in Chrome browser
I'm using Universal Web Adapter for Chrome, I have 2 tabs opened in the same window, and I want to close the first opened tab.
I did try with active the window and use close window option, but it's closing the complete window instead of first tab.
ThomasSasnett - have any solution for this?

@usantosh You can close a page by using the ExecuteScript method on whichever page you want to close. The JavaScript to close the page is;
window.Close();
If the page is open in a tab, it will only close that tab.

@ThomasSasnett Window.Close(); this is not working as the tab which I'm trying to close is the main tab(not opened through javascirpt). I can able to close other tabs which are opened by clicking the links in the main tab, but unable to close main tab.

@usantosh I don't understand what you mean. Do you have the main page interrogated? What happens when you use ExecuteScript with "window.Close();" as the JavaScript on it? Do you see any messages in the log? Does the web page respond at all?

@ThomasSasnett It says VM2466:1 Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by them.

@usantosh The below code works for me:
This code is inside the ExecuteScript block:
function closeWindow() { window.close(); }
If you're trying to close a tab that's not opened with robotics, you might be able to create a "catch all" web page in your web adapter that matches any web page that opens in Chrome. You could enable UseKeys on the catch all page and loop through each page to close it with the script.
