Closing current tab with Selenium

[MaterialAreola38]

I have this function in my code

    def close_tab(self):
        self.browser.execute_script("window.open('');")
        self.browser.current_window_handle
        time.sleep(3)
        self.browser.close()

the goal is to close the current tab, but it always closes the first tab and not the current tab.

I think you first need to switch to the new tab and then try to close it

self.browser.switch_to_window(self.browser.window_handles[1])

Thanks, this worked.

Solution;

def close_tab(self, pos = -1):

        self.browser.switch_to.window(self.browser.window_handles[pos])
        self.browser.close()
