switch back to defaut frame

[rafaleo]

In documentation is written:

switchToFrame(Id) Change focus to another frame on the page. Id can be string|number|null|WebElement Object. If the Id is null, the server should switch to the page’s default content.

So when I switch to some frame, do some operations and want to get back I use rdr$switchToFrame(NULL) I get message:

Selenium message:Missing 'id' parameter Build info: version: '3.7.1', revision: '8a0099a', time: '2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z' System info: host: 'MANIFOLD-4', ip: '192.168.184.1', os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.8.0_151' Driver info: driver.version: unknown

Error: Summary: UnknownError Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. class: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException Further Details: run errorDetails method

How to use it though? How to get default frame at the beginning to use it as an argument?

Executing objects I want to get now throws:

Selenium message:TypeError: can't access dead object Build info: version: '3.7.1', revision: '8a0099a', time: '2017-11-06T21:07:36.161Z' System info: host: 'MANIFOLD-4', ip: '192.168.184.1', os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.8.0_151' Driver info: driver.version: unknown

I am having success with: remDr$switchToFrame(1)

Any support for this? Quite clearly isn't doing what is intended.

> driver$switchToFrame(NULL)

Selenium message:unknown error: missing 'id'

Error: 	 Summary: UnknownError

driver$switchToFrame(NA) seems to go through, however the context does not switch back.

@mks212 This fix does not work for me :(

EDIT: Actually it seems that it does work in general
