I'm creating screenshots in my testcases with selenium webdriver, and while these indeed show what is visible in my web application, it doesn't show popups created by the browser.
I have found that in IE in some cases, my app triggers a JS debug popup in IE. This is of course an error and breaks the rest of my test, but the screenshot does not show the error. I presume this is because it's an IE native popup, rather than one trigger by my application.
Is it possible to get this included in the screenshots? I was thinking of maybe creating the screenshot with Robot#createScreenCapture() but obviously that wouldn't show anything useful if the browser is minimized.
So, a few possible solutions:
- can you detect if an error message pops up in a browser
- is it possible to maximise/focus the browser while running?
- can you take screenshots from selenium with the popups showing?
Selenium will take a screenshot that represents the rendered DOM that the browser shows the end user by intercepting the rendered image that the browser is displaying and taking a copy of it.
It does not take a desktop screenshot so the screenshots shown will not show anything covering the browser window. JavaScript alerts are not part of the rendered DOM so you will not see these in Selenium screenshots.
Maybe because the driver is not with the Alert/Window active?
You could try something like this:
private void CheckForOtherWindows()
{
//Check for any other window open
if (driver.WindowHandles.Count > 0)
{
foreach (string window in driver.WindowHandles)
{
driver.SwitchTo().Window(window);
TakeScreenshot();
}
}
//Check for alert window
try
{
driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
TakeScreenshot();
}
catch
{
//Nothing
}
}
This is not tested, not sure if works. Just giving the idea. :)
Edit:
To maximize the window is easy:
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
Hope it helps.
You can use this as below:
FileUtils.copyFile(((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE), new File("E:\\ScreenShot\\screenshot.png"));

// opening the base URL
driver1.get(baseUrl+"/");
// opening a new tab
driver1.findElement(By.cssSelector("Body")).sendKeys(Keys.COMMAND + "t");
driver1.get("my URL");
// getting back to the first tab
driver1.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.COMMAND, Keys.SHIFT, "{");
// I want to signup by clicking the sign up button
driver1.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/header/div[2]/button")).click();
The error that I get after running is :
"Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died."
But when I run the same code without the navigation, the button click works fine, then it means there is no problem with the xpath.
The information which browser you are using would be very interesting. And the webdriver doesn't need to control the visbile Tab. So i wouldn't let the Browser change the Tab and I would use the "switchTo" Method of the webdriver.
More information to this topic is here.
As #Kikkirej mentuined, i see no reason to use sendKeys to switch between opened tabs. Use Selenium instead, it is a much better approach.
Edit: in addition, try to provide more information, especially the most basic part - the browser you are automating.
I am working with Selenium, now there is a condition:
when I hit a button in my webpage a window pop up opens up.
Now I have to click a radio button (one out of two, it will work even if we send a TAB ) and then click an OK button. I searched in the net and got to know about "driver.getWindowHandle()".
But I don't have any idea dealing with the newly opened window popup.
Need help in this.
For switching purpose u can use enhanced for loop:
for (String winHandle : objDriver.getWindowHandles()) {
objDriver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}
So it will switch the control from one driver window to child windows.
To interact with elements on the window try to find element with whatever tool u r using and perform the required action after switching to the window.
To return back to parent window you can use the same loop or use:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
Check my answer in this post and also read the comments to help you understand the difference between getWindowHandle() and getWindowHandles()
Java: focus is not on pop-window during window handling
We handled this situation using AutoItX - https://www.autoitscript.com/site/ in our Windows/IE C# project:
AutoItX3 autoIt = new AutoItX3();
var handle = autoIt.WinWaitActive("[window title]", "", 20);
Assert.IsTrue(handle != 0", string.Format("Was not able to find: {0}", [window title]);
autoIt.Send("{ESCAPE}"); // tab may work as well for selection
The pop up was a Windows window, and not part of IE, therefore the WebDriver didn't know about it.
Hope this helps.
We are testing an application build using Telerik.
A demo of Telerik is available here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/radwindowobject/defaultcs.aspx
Our application is build in a similar way.
In this demo you can see a window with Bing in it. I want to switch to it using WebDriver (Java) to perform actions on objects within it.
I have tried to switchto iframe but WebDriver comes back saying it is not an iframe.
Also tried to get window handles and switchto window but with no luck, it is not treated as a new window. Any suggestions please?
The following code worked for me. I was able to enter text in the bing search field.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/radwindowobject/defaultcs.aspx");
driver.switchTo().frame("RadWindow1");
driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Hello this is my text");
Let me know if this helps you.
I am trying to automate initial configuration(of my server) through webpage. After hitting my server ip https:/localhost:4443 and entering my credentials ,i get a window to change password(overlay/popup window).
Problem:- if i browse the same ip from another m/c or from another browser , i get a window over window i.e one more window over change password window(Please click the link to see the screenshot).
What i tried is to get the handle of the window but its not working, its providing one handle only.
**Its not frame also.
HTML code -- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91420517/Html_Code.JPG
Here's my code
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://localhost:4443/ControlPoint/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='name']")).sendKeys("xxxxxx");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='pass']")).sendKeys("xxxxxx");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='loginForm123']/div[6]/div[1]/div")).click();
Set<String> winIds = driver.getWindowHandles();
System.out.println("Total Windows --- " + winIds.size()); // its resulting the size as 1 which is not correct.
Iterator<String> it = winIds.iterator();
String mainWin=it.next();
String changeWin=it.next();
String shareWin =it.next();
driver.switchTo().window(shareWin);
String warning = driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[4234]/div[1]/span")).getText(); // to get the text on 3 window
System.out.println(warning);
How to resolve this issue .Please help. Any other way to click on buttons on window 3.
If the additional window is opened asynchronously, then possibly you are checking for it (with getWindowHandles()) too early, before it has been created - this is a common issue with Selenium tests and asynchronous page updates.
If this is the issue, it can be solved by trying a few times with a wait in between, checking each time whether a new window has appeared.
I am using three instances of fire fox driver for automation.I need to bring current active firefox browser into front, Because I am using some robo classes for some opertation. I had tried java script alert for google chrome in mac ( same operation) and its worked fine. In windows used user32 lib. In the case of firefox mac its showing the alert in background but the web page is not come into front.
((JavascriptExecutor)this.webDriver).executeScript("alert('Test')");
this.webDriver.switchTo().alert().accept();
The above code I used for chrome in Mac. Same code is working and showing alert for firefox but the window is not coming to front.
Please suggest if there any other method for doing the same in firefox.
Store the window handle first in a variable, and then use it to go back to the window later on.
//Store the current window handle
String currentWindowHandle = this.webDriver.getWindowHandle();
//run your javascript and alert code
((JavascriptExecutor)this.webDriver).executeScript("alert('Test')");
this.webDriver.switchTo().alert().accept();
//Switch back to to the window using the handle saved earlier
this.webDriver.switchTo().window(currentWindowHandle);
Additionally, you can try to maximise the window after switching to it, which should also activate it.
this.webDriver.manage().window().maximize();
Try switching using the window name:
driver.switchTo().window("windowName");
Alternatively, you can pass a "window handle" to the switchTo().window() method. Knowing this, it’s possible to iterate over every open window like so:
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
driver.switchTo().window(handle);
}
Based on the Selenium documentation: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp
As described in other topics, you can use
driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(-2000, 0));
too.
# notifications for selenium
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications": 2}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
current_path = os.getcwd() # current working path
chrome_path = os.path.join(current_path, 'chromedriver')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_path, chrome_options=chrome_options)
browser.switch_to.window(browser.current_window_handle)
browser.implicitly_wait(30)
browser.maximize_window()
browser.get("http://facebook.com")
Only thing that worked for me on mac: self.driver.fullscreen_window().
