Use DevTools protocol to open new tab in window

I am using puppeteer to launch a new Chrome browser window:

const util = require('util');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {

  const b = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    devtools: true, // open DevTools when window launches
    args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222']
  });

  console.log('browser:', util.inspect(b));

  const c = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint:   b._connection._url,   //`ws://${host}:${port}/devtools/browser/<id>`,
    ignoreHTTPSErrors: false
  });

  console.log('connection =>', c);

})();

my question is - how can I use the websocket connection c, to send DevTools protocol messages to the browser window? I'd like to open a new tab, and do some other actions. Anybody know how?

Haven't tested it but reading from the documentation you could do something like this:

const client = await page.target().createCDPSession();
await client.send('Target.createTarget', {'https://stackoverflow.com'});

You can find the:

  • docs for CPDSession here
  • docs for Chrome Dev Tools Protocol here.
