How do I run multiple browsers to simulate multiple simultaneous users with Gauge?

Question

I'm working on a web-based multiplayer game. It's the usual "One person creates a game, others join" type flow. So I bring up multiple browsers to manually test the interaction.

Is there a way to do this with Gauge/Taiko? The alternative seems to be setting up an existing scenario in the database, which seems like a lot more work.

Thanks!

you could use https://docs.taiko.dev/#openincognitowindow to simultaneously login different users as this opens a new incognito profile for each window. Testing can be done by switching between the windows using the name given when opening the window.

That works, however 'switchTo' doesn't seem to be able to switch based on the window name you give 'openIncognitoWindow'. It will switch based on window title, so I set that, and it works fine. – chris_st May 21 '20 at 19:25
Do raise an issue here https://github.com/getgauge/taiko/issues, if you feel something is working differently – par May 22 '20 at 04:32
