How to click on Cancel on a windows explorer that displays when a upload button is clicked on a web page using Selenium WebDriver with Java

I am very new to Selenium WebDriver with Java. There is a Upload button on a job portal. When I click on that button windows explorer is displayed to choose the file. there are open and cancel buttons on this window. i want to select the cancel button. since it is a windows explorer i cannot inspect the cancel button. how do we write the code for cancelling the button. Thanks in advance.
driver.get("https://my.indeed.com/resume?from=gnav-homepage&co=US&hl=en_US");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//[#id='container']/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/button")).click();

I do not have Java programming skills. I hope the below python code is easy to translate. In my opinion, combining windows action with selenium calls is often flaky.
There is a hidden element called 'upload resume button', you can change the attribute value to see it on the UI, use the send keys method on the element to upload the resume.
from selenium.webdriver import Remote, DesiredCapabilities
driver = Remote(desired_capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.CHROME)
driver.get('https://my.indeed.com/resume?from=gnav-homepage&co=US&hl=en_US')
driver.execute_script(
"document.getElementById('upload-resume-button').setAttribute('class', '')"
)
upload_your_resume = driver.find_element_by_id('upload-resume-button')
upload_your_resume.send_keys(r'C:\test\resume.docx')
The above code worked in my local.

Short answer is you cant, but if you want to upload a local file you can use send_keys on the input field, sending the file path.
Here is a python exemple:
driver.find_element_by_id("IdOfInputTypeFile").send_keys(os.getcwd()+"/image.png")

you can use Robot class to simulate native keyboard and mouse actions to interact with windows based pop-ups.
The shortcut to close any opened window is: “Alt + Space +C” – Closes the focused window.
Robot rb = new Robot();
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE);
rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);

Handle Window Pop Up in Selenium

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.

How to handle overlay/popup window using selenium webdriver

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.

Bring the Firefox Browser to Front using selenium Java (Mac OSX)

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().

Selenium Webdriver screenshots do not show driver errors

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"));
