    }

    @Test

Selenium v4.8

        })

        it('test create a window with a reference context', async function () {

Open a window with a reference browsing context

A reference browsing context is a top-level browsing context. The API allows to pass the reference browsing context, which is used to create a new window. The implementation is operating system specific.
