I have this simple batch script that opens up a firefox profile
#echo off
start firefox.exe -P default -no-remote
sometimes the profile is already opened and i get this popup.
Is there anyway to check if the popup appeared and click the close firefox button? Or maybe theres a piece of code where i can close the firefox profile and play that in the begining of the batch file so that i know for sure its closed and dont get that popup. Thanks for your help.
Try with sendkeys.bat:
call sendkeys.bat "Close Firefox" "{LEFT}{ENTER}"

This is my extremely basic batch file. The issue is that it can be ran 20 different times on one button click, and I want it to create 20 tabs in IE. This currently creates 20 different IE windows. Any help would be great.
Each run would have a different parameter for my php page.
If you try to set the IE browser as a default browser then with the use of the following code you can open the tab in the existing instance of the IE browser.
#echo off
start /d "" www.microsoft.com
Output:
How can I run an internet browser with an url, any url I want, and it opens but it opens in background without showing a window?
It should be like a background media player. And if you know how to do that please tell me and tell me how I can mute the browser once starting. I am trying to do this with a batch file.
You can open a hidden window with powershell. You can use powershell commands within cmd or in a .bat file as well. Here's an example:
powershell saps 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44642194' -wi hidden
That opens a hidden window of your default browser with the specified link.
I need a solution to download a PDF file from an web application in IE11 using selenium webdriver. Please find the below pop-up which I am trying to handle.
Below are the ways I tried handle the IE popup but unfortunately nothing helped.
I tried to handle this scenario using AutoIT using the below AutoIT script.
Sleep(5000)
Local $hIE = WinGetHandle("[Class:IEFrame]")
Local $hCtrl = ControlGetHandle($hIE, "", "[ClassNN:DirectUIHWND1]")
If WinExists($hIE,"") Then
WinActivate($hIE,"")
ControlSend($hIE ,"",$hCtrl,"{F6}")
Sleep(500)
ControlSend($hIE ,"",$hCtrl,"{TAB}")
Sleep(500)
ControlSend($hIE ,"",$hCtrl,"{enter}")
EndIf
Sleep(25000)
Though the above AutoIT script worked, but after execution of AutoIT script the webdriver scripts hangs up. Even a common system.out.println statement is not getting executed after handling the pop-up using above AutoIT script.
I tried to handle this pop-up using Robot class, but hard luck, that also not seems to be working.
I tried to disable this IE pop-up by doing some registry settings by going to the below path,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\
After doing certain registry settings, this pop-up is successfully getting disabled for .xlsx or .RDP files and not for .PDF files. But In my case I have a test case where I need to download a .pdf file and proceed with further webdriver scripts.
Guys, suggestion of any other workaround will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I had the same problem. Click button does not work properly in this case with IE. I switched clicking button for focusing it with sendKeys() and then pressing with Enter.
Try this:
Robot robot;
try {
// pressing download button
button.sendKeys("""");
robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
// handling download
webDriver.wait(2000);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_S);
webDriver.wait(200);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_S);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
You can use Thread.sleep() instead of driver.wait() and should work as well.
Is there a possibility to just open and close one single tab in a already running chrome browser session? I dont want to start a whole new browser like the command
start chrome.exe http://stackoverflow.com/
does it. Does someone have an idea how i could realize this?
I now found a way for opening a new tab on a already running browser:
start "webpage name" "http://stackoverflow.com/"
But I still don't know what the command for closing a single tab in a browser is.
Open Tab:
start "www.Discord.com"
or
start "https://Discord.com"
I still dont have any type of command that closes a tab on browser...
I want to be able to make a .bat or .vbs file that opens a certain website and closes it after a set period of time. I'm trying to get the website to be unclosable until it's manually closed (through task manager) or after a timer of like a minute. Thanks.
You have to open a website in a browsers so you gab to call your browser with a command line argument (in this case the url of the website)
I only know how to do that with Firefox but it should be the same with chrome or IE.
start "" "path to browser" [url or other argument]
^ Title of your window!
Since it's a browser you can only close it manually!
