Conversation
A plugin keyword that catches a failing self.library.new_page(...) keeps running against the failed page until it returns. Show how to switch back to the previous page. Refs MarketSquare/robotframework-browser#5261 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds a short aside to Extending → Python plugins for plugin authors.
After MarketSquare/robotframework-browser#5273 (fixes MarketSquare/robotframework-browser#5261), a failing
New Pagekeeps the failed page open and active until failure handling is done, so the failure screenshot shows the right page. For a plugin keyword that callsself.library.new_page(...), that means the failed page stays active until the plugin keyword returns. A plugin that catches the error and carries on has to switch back itself; the note shows how withswitch_page.Only the plugin page changes; the
New Pagekeyword docs are already updated in the library.Merge after the Browser release that includes #5273.
