What happened?
Thank you so much for your time in advance.
So was trying to implement BiDi Log in my project, for which I added the "webSocketUrl" capability as true in driver option.
But since then the anchor links in my code started behaving strangely in chromium browsers. As in when we click on the anchor link, the new tab is getting open, but after that browser gets stuck and does not load the url. Same code works fine
in firefox.
But when I set the "webSocketUrl" capability as false, or remove the same, the code starts working properly.
So I tried the same with simple java selenium code and was able to reproduce the same issue. Hope the sample code helps.
How can we reproduce the issue?

public class WebSocketUrlBug {
private static final int WAIT_FOR_MILLIS = 2000;
private static final String URL = "https://www.browserstack.com/";
static WebDriver driver = null;
public static void main(String[] args) {
openNewTabOrWinOnAnchorClick();
}
private static void openNewTabOrWinOnAnchorClick() {
try {
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
// FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setCapability("webSocketUrl", true); // <<<<< This causes the issue for Chromium browsers.
driver = new ChromeDriver(options); // 115.0.5790.171 // Not Working.
// driver = new EdgeDriver(options); // 115.0.1901.200 // Not Working.
// driver = new FirefoxDriver(options); // 102.14.0esr // Works fine.
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get(URL);
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Register now"));
// ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", ele);
ele.click();
Thread.sleep(WAIT_FOR_MILLIS);
String mainHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
Set<String> handles = driver.getWindowHandles();
System.out.println(handles);
String newHandle = "";
for (String handle : handles) {
if (!handle.equals(mainHandle)) {
newHandle = handle;
break;
}
}
driver.switchTo().window(newHandle);
Thread.sleep(WAIT_FOR_MILLIS);
driver.switchTo().window(mainHandle);
Thread.sleep(WAIT_FOR_MILLIS);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (driver != null) {
driver.quit();
}
}
}
