im having an issue when im running my robot tests.
The application under test (AUT) has a button that opens a new tab when you click it. It works on Chrome and IE when a user actually clicks that button. However, when i run my test to test that functionality in IE, the test opens a new window and that window is not being recognized (i used the SELECT WINDOW keyword in selenium2library)
Has anybody encountered this? is this an IE11 issue or IEWebDriver issue or something?
Here is my system specs:
OS - Windows 7
Browser - IE11
Robot Framework Version - 3.0.2
IEDriverServer version - 3.4
Thank you. i hope someone can help me.
When you run your test in IE the test opens a New Window instead of a new TAB is actually perfect.
As per #JimEvans on the github issue Selenium 3.7.1-IEDriverServer 3.7.0 : IEDriverServer opens a new Window instead of new TAB when JavascriptExecutor is used :
This is by design that a new window is opened.

Hi I could do with some help / more experienced eyes.
I have a WPF application which I have started automating some UI tests for using winappdriver, upon further investigation it has embeded html in it - webview, and can fire off requests to open the default browser with app related content - such as help files.
Has anyone had experience in working with this? For example:
open the WPF app,
click on help button on the WPF app which will open a browser and
then continue the test to ensure that the correct help page has been launched with the correct content in relation to the WPF page it was fired from.
Presumably this can be done in my case with chrome driver (winappdriver cannot see the content on the webpage). I have tried using selenium's window handles, but it's like the driver can't see the already open browser page. So I am at a bit of a loss and really not sure what to do.
In previous roles I was used to using Ranorex, which does both windows and web based UI automation. So I have never had any experience using multiple driver types to do the one test.
I am using CEF Sharp - V86
I am getting this strange issue and our users have starting complaining about it.
When the cefsharp winform browser loads for the first time, it shows the black window for few mili-seconds and then it disappears.
If we reload or refresh the webpage, it does not happens.
We have recently upgraded from V79 to V86 and we did not had any issue in earlier version.
What i have tried so far is, tried setting below command line arguements but it didn't work.
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("disable-gpu");
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("disable-gpu-compositing");
I have also tried setting
Cef.EnableHighDPISupport()
But it didn't work.
Additional Info :
Checked with Latest Version - CefSharp V88
When we load CefSharp winform browser in wpf application using winform host, a black screen appears on load for the first time for few miliseconds and then disappears.
This was not happening in earlier version.(i checked with V79 till V83).
Steps to reproduce.
Create a sample wpf application ,use windowsformhost to load cefsharp winform browser.
In constructor of winform browser, use any url. I tested with www.google.com.
Run the application.
Notice the initial black screen appears for few miliseconds and then disappears.
Please note this happens only for the first time when the chrome winform load.
his seems to have broken from CEFSharp v84.
Any help will be appreciated. :)
I was able to get rid of the black flash. Once I removed it from the VS Form Designer, things got better. Define it as a form level object:
private ChromiumWebBrowser cwbPage;
Then in the form constructor, instantiate it and add it to a panel in the form:
cwbPage= new ChromiumWebBrowser("");
cwbPage.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.pnlPanel.Controls.Add(cwbPage);
cwbPage.BringToFront();
//...add any event handlers
Finally, pass it the string of Html or navigate to the url:
cwbPage.LoadHtml("<html><body>This is a test.</body></html>");
//OR
cwbPage.LoadUrlAsync("https://www.google.com");
Notes:
It still takes about 3 seconds to load the content, but at least there is no black flash.
I experimented and tried going back to using the VS Form Designer, and the black flash came back. I stripped almost all of the properties away from it in the VS Form generated code, but it still flashed blackly. So it does not like using the Form Designer.
Selenium Grid (selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1) does not work with IE 11 on Win7 32Bit node.
IE browser window is opened, but the test is not executed. Only the message "This is the initial start page for the WebDriver server." is displayed in IE.
Option "caps.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true)" is set in the GEB/Groovy framework.
FF and Chrome tests on the node are working without any problem.
For IE tests only the browser window is opened. No error message is shown in the grid.
Any idea?
There are some required configuration for the Internet Explorer Driver, and even for Internet Explorer 11.
Here is the link to the official documentation: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#required-configuration
Hope that helps.
I am using Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait to interact with the native windows dialog when uploading an image.
I click the upload button using webdriver, then go:
SendKeys.SendWait("^A"); //Highlight content so it can be overwritten
SendKeys.SendWait(path);
SendKeys.SendWait(#"{Enter}");
Works great when I run it locally on my PC, however, the test won't run on the TeamCity agent (I have many other tests that run OK). It fails as it seems that native dialog never appears or if it does, it can't interact with it.
Not sure what's happening as this whole test agent process runs in the background and I can't see what it's doing - I can take screenshots using webdriver but it won't capture native dialogs anyway.
I tried to configure the team city test agent windows service (change Log On settings to allow interacting with desktop) but this did not work. Seems it just isn't able to interact with it... any ideas on how to make this work?
In order to upload a file with Selenium, you should use Webdriver's SendKeys directly to the input element that requires the path (Not Forms.SendKeys). See this example.
Note: You'll need to avoid clicking the button that opens the dialog.
I am Clicking on the browse button in IE using Selenium Webdriver code in an upload file utility by reading the co-ordinates of the browse text. Whlie the code works fine in some machines in IE and firefox both, in yet another machine the same code is working for firefoxx but the browse button becomes unclickable in IE. We checked the settings in internet options, everything looks alike in both machines.
Please let us know if anyone faced any such issue and the resolution that could work.
If there is any other way to upload the file in your app by avoiding the "Browser" button method, then that is always preferred. Some people will use Apache HTTPComponents to do a POST upload to the servlet that the "Browse" button refers to. That is by far the preferred method rather than using WebDriver. The problem with the Browse button is that it opens native OS controls ( in some cases) and the only way you can control those is by using the Sikuli API to click on elements based on finding them with matching screenshots. Also, if you use Sikuli, you can't run multiple browser tests on the same machine since each test will block screen comparisons of another test and that will rule you out of using RemoteWebDriver.
