Webdriver showModalDialog

Question

We use webdriver for our functional tests. But our application reuses the showModalDialogJS function to open a popup. When we try to test this functionality with webdriver, it freezes since the pop-up window pops up.

We tried a few things to check this out:

• The use of a workaround is explained here . But this seems like a fix for selenium, not webdriver. We tried, but it didn’t work.
• Finding a good alternative, HtmlUnit opened a modal dialog and could interact with it, but it has flaws, such as the lack of visual help to fix certain tests, and it stopped execution when it found a JS error in the JS library, which we should but have no control over them.

How can we verify this or solve this problem?

Answer 1

From my experiences with various automation tools for interacting with the "web page dialog", windows opened from IE using window.showModalDialog()or window.showModelessDialog()are not available .

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.showModalDialog = window.open;");

window.open , JavaScript window.showModalDialog.

Answer 7

Set<String> beforePopup = driver.getWindowHandles();

Set<String> afterPopup = driver.getWindowHandles();

afterPopup.removeAll(beforePopup);

if(afterPopup.size()==1){
    System.out.println(afterPopup.toArray()[0]);
}

driver.switchTo().window((String) afterPopup.toArray()[0]);

public void switchWindow (String containsText, WebDriver) Exception {

    if ( StringUtils.isEmpty(containingText))
        return;

    int counter = 1;
    int numOfpopups = driver.getWindowHandles().size();
    System.out.println("Waiting for popup to load..... # handles:" + numOfpopups);
    while ( numOfpopups  < 2 && ((counter%10) != 0) ) {
        counter++;
        try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch (Exception e) {}
    }
    System.out.println("Done waiting for..... " + counter + " seconds");

    if (driver.getWindowHandles().size() < 2)
          throw new BrowserException("Timeout after " + counter + " secs. No popup present. ");

    System.out.println("Going through window handles...");

    for (String windowHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) { 
                driver = driver.switchTo().window(windowHandle);
        if ( driver.getPageSource().contains(containingText)

When the user selects the Model pop-up window, the parent window is blocked waiting for the return value from the pop-up window. You will not be able to see the page view source, you must close the pop-up window, after which only the parent window is activated.
