Research direction

Start by reproducing the unit-testing flow described: click Save, observe the authentication window, and compare the older and upgraded CodeceptJS and Puppeteer versions. Use the browser’s “Debugger Paused in another tab” message and the window’s repeated opening as investigation clues. Done means the authentication window opens and closes once and the script completes reliably.

Description

stale

We are upgrading CodeceptJS(2.6.11 to 3.6.10) and Puppeteer(9.1.1 to 24.1.1) versions and didn't have this issue with older versions. After upgrade observed this issue while unit testing the scripts

In our application - When clicked on Save button a new Window opens for authentication. It will be authenticated automatically and closes.

Issue: Its trying to open new Window for authentication but its blinking continuously to open Window and script fails.

And also observed a message on browser Debugger Paused in another tab, switch to that tab. however window is not opened completely its blinking.

Tried Manually after script failed, able to open new window and authenticate successfully
