I have a scenario to verify Print Properties dialog opening up correctly after clicking on Print button. Aware of Robot utility class in Java which can emulate keyboard events like Escape/Enter etc. to operate on that window.
Is there any way we can verify the new dialog opened up is a Print dialog - something to verify dialog title i.e. Print or retrieve text from that windows dialog or something else which will confirm dialog to be a Print dialog.
You can use an image based automation tool. I use SIKULI which is based on JAVA Robot class. http://www.sikuli.org/
In SIKULI, you have to take the screenshot of the pop up or its title and then use it for comparison. SIKULI is available as a JAVA API and can be integrated with Selenium. SIKULI also procides a optical image recognition feature using tesseract. This can also be used to verify the title of the popup.
Hope this helps you.

I'm trying to create automation with selenium that will install chrome extension.
I'm having a problem when i try to run this jar on amazon virtual machine,
because when i try to press enter with robot class it doesn't work because i don't have physical keyboard attached.
I can't use sendkeys within the selenium because the pop from google is not at the same page and selenium can't recognize it.
any solutions?
In that case you can use "sikuli" which is basically uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. You can find it here
Steps would be :
Download sikuli java jar
Add this jar to your build path
Crop the pop up you want to click
Write desired sikuli code for that.
Please let me know if it can help You. If you wish to add sikuli in your project. I can help you for that very basic sikuli script.
I am testing web site functionality with Selenium using Java from Eclipse. One test is to click a "download" button, look for a popup window (this is another selenium window), respond to that window which should then cause a Windows download dialog to pop up (please see attached image).
Please note. I do not have to actually download the file. Just verify that the windows dialog popped up.
I know from experience (or at least am unaware) that Selenium can actually access the Windows download box, choose a file location and start the download. But all I need to do is verify that the download box popped up. Exiting the chromedriver will kill the download window so it won't linger but I still need to verify it was created.
Any suggestions? One thing I tried was having the task manager open. I thought I could find a process corresponding to the dialog box, but there were 119 processes before the dialog box came up as well as when it was up. So any suggestions what to do?
I could add as an aside that someone wrote a workaround to actually download the file. Instead of clicking on a button or link he pretended to be the Windows dialog box and accepted the download. That, for reasons I stated above, will not work in this instance as I have to verify the actual results of clicking the button.
Please see my attached image for an example of the dialog box.
One workaround to meet this test requirement is, once you responds to the window which results in a Windows download dialog, try performing the next action. This will result in a WebDriverException as the access to UI will be blocked by the Windows dialog. You can then catch this WebDriverException and in the catch block press escape key using Robot class in Java. Following is an example:
try {
//1) Respond to the window that results in Windows dialog box.
//2) Perform the next action on UI.
} catch (WebDriverException we) {
//3) You can capture screen shot as well at this stage.
System.out.println("Most likely Windows dialog appeared.");
//4) Press escape key using Robot class in Java
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE);
}
You can use AutoIT to check if the windows dialog appears, then save the status of the windows dialog in somewhere(eg. a temp file), then you read the status of the windows dialog using Java from Eclipse
I am automating a web application using selenium webdriver and java in which after hitting login button a desktop application is launched and the control is no more associated with the webdriver. When the application is launched, the whole desktop screen goes into background and the dialog box comes in front. I need to access that dialog box to enter pin.
I have tried using robot class, AutoIT and AUT but not able to access that dialog to enter pin.
Sorry... i dont have enough reputation to load image.
please help.
You might be getting modal window:-
You can navigate to it and send pin using driver.switchTo().alert().sendkeys("<pin>");
How to open firefox "open menu" using keyboard shortcut?
I am unable to find the keyboard shortcut on google. I want to automate the process using selenium as I want to open an installed add on.
For an automation task like this you maybe using the wrong technology.
Have you tried using AutoIt for a task like this? Then switching back to Selenium when you need to interact with the DOM?
You can reach some of the main menu's options via the hidden extended menu set which can be shown after pressing Alt when not in fullscreen mode.
I need to manipulate Popups & Download Dialogs of IE browser using either Java or
Javascript based automated solution.
I tried with selenium2 but its not working properly so any other suggestion for the same.
Actually selenium2 does not provide proper handling of alert/download dialogs so
I am thinking to use some other javascript/java solution.
With Download Dialog: I need to save the downloaded file to particular location.
With Alerts Dialogs: I need to check the displayed message and click on the particular button.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks.
I use selenium 1 and it works well to handle popups in my application.
//Click on browse file button, open a popup
selenium.click("//input[#value='Browse...']");
//waiting for popup to load
selenium.waitForPopUp("_Dialog", "30000");
//selecting the popup by passing window name
selenium.selectWindow("name=_Dialog");
//click a link inside pop up window
selenium.click("link=something");
//Put other popup operations here
//click cancel button for pop up
selenium.click("cancel");
//back to main window
selenium.selectwindow("null")
To get the message from alert boxes, use selenium.getAlert();. This will return the message contained in the alert box as String.
Also, sometime you will need to check, whether alert has occurred before switching to it.
int noofWindows = selenium.getAllWindowNames().length;
if (noofWindows > 1){
//selects the second window
selenium.selectWindow(selenium.getAllWindowIds()[2]);
//Prints the message in the alert window
System.out.println(selenium.getAlert());
}
If it is not a necessity to run test in IE, use firefox(*chrome) and close all other windows before executing the code.
I hope this helps you.
*All the mentioned code is for handling JavaScript pop-ups. I'm not sure whether this will work for Vb-script or not.
EDIT
I think IE download pop up is a windows event so cannot be handled by selenium directly, for this you'll have to use Java AWT or AutoIT.
AutoIT script should be something similiar to
WinWaitActive(windowTitle)
ControlClick(windowTitle,"",buttonName)
and save it as IEsave.exe. NOTE: I'haven't tried this AutoIT script.
now you have execute IEsave.exe from your program. I'm using java here.
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/IEsave.exe");
This will execute the file which in-turn will handle the save button event for windows.
You can create similar exe files for handling other window's events.
Hope this solves your problem.
