How to navigate back in history with Nightwatch?

Question

I have a test that clicks some links that navigate the browser in a single-page-application. In the test, I want the browser to go back to the original page, and then assert that the state is correct.

How can I make Nightwatch go back as if it clicked the back button in the browser?

Answer 1

A simple client.back() should work, as documented in the API/Protocol reference.
