I make script which open site from text document (in document it about 150+ sites) and make screenshot of first screen. I have two problems. It is cookie alert and modal popup windows like "subscribe on our newsletter", "10% discount on this weekend" and something like this. Cookie alert was handeled by add crx extension before driver launch ( Pop up blocker for Chrome™ - Poper Blocker). But i not found something like this for modal windows. All modal windows have different xPath and class names. Like "modal", "ui-diaglod", "popup", etc. I have a question how to handle modals and dimming the background and after closing them make screenshot. I tried handle it by adding JavaScript script that searching modals by class names, but it so many classes that my solution didn`t work properly

I am trying to automate a process with Selenium, and am having troubles figuring out how to switch between open windows while the program is running.
After clicking on the button, it opens another website that has a separate url, which is unique each time it is opened. I need to switch Selenium from interacting with the original website to this new popup within the browser, caused by the original website. The new window shows that it is also controlled by Chromedriver with the bit at the top that says "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software." Additionally, the actual website opened will be the same, just the fine print after the '.com/' is different.
How would I go about doing this? Also, how would I switch back? (If this is even possible)
For example:
driver=webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get("https://originalwebsite.com/")
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'buttons-xpath').click()
# (popup opens up now)
# *switch to popup website here*
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'button-on-new-website-xpath').click()
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'second-button-on-new-website-xpath').click()
# *popup website closes*
# switch back to original website / window
Thanks!
I have tried to use driver.navigate in a variety of ways but generally have no clue what I am doing. Thanks again!
The comment from ALex Break led to the answer.
All I had to do was:
handles = driver.window_handles
driver.switch_to.window(handles[x])
#handles[x] is the index of the list handles that has the handle I want to switch
#to stored in it
I am using python code such as below to click an element within an iframe on an angularjs page.
browser = webdriver.Ie()
browser.switch_to.frame('name')
browser.find_element_by_id('value').click()
After using click() I am unable to manually highlight text that appears on the page. Why might this happen? How can I restore the ability to highlight text with the mouse?
I have tried switching back to default content, but this makes no difference. Any ideas?
Other strange effects after using click(): Links and buttons don't work while using the mouse manually unless double-clicked. These would normally require single click. It is as if there is an invisible overlay blocking text selection or clicking links. Radio buttons and menus still work.
Edit: The site uses silverlight and I am wondering if this is related to the problem that results from using click().
I have searched the forums and found some information regarding this, but not quite with the problem I'm facing. I am automating the uploading of files to a website. Unfortunately, the website uses a counter for the id of the "browse" button. Using Selenium and Firebug, I was able to find another way to identify the button. I have exported the script into python to add variables so I can automate. However, the browse button opens a windows popup to select the file. The script is started out like this...
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#type=\"file\"]").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").send_keys("path\\file")
driver.find_element_by_id("upload_button").click()
In this, the upload button is clicked, the popup appears, and it sits there mocking me. I tried using the xpath in place of the id, but that didn't work. I tried the following, too...
driver.findElement(By.id()).send_keys("path\\file")
and tried this...
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_*").send_keys("path\\file")
I cant seem to get the window to respond, other than it's mocking glare. Any help to squelch this would be very appreciated.
It can´t be done. One workaround is to get the development team to modify the AUT for you. Add a javascipt function into the page that will allow you to pass the filename to the handler without having to click the browse button.
If you can´t do that, I would suggest that you look into Sikuli that will allow you to interact with the windows prompt using pattern recognition (screenshots) of what you want to interact with.
Ok, so I want to control a IE Explorer with pywinauto. I would like to select text fields on the page and edit them. Is there a way to do this with pywinauto without clicking where the text field are? The pages will be the same every time, but not the data that is entered into them. The window may not be in the same place every time, so I couldn't do WrapperObject.Click(coords=fixed_pos). Sample code is preferred. Thanks!
Unfortunately no. You can control the window of IE, all the toolbars and buttons, address bar and search bar, etc. But not content of pages within.
For this task, you need other tools, such as Selenium http://seleniumhq.org/
As for pywinauto,I strongly recommend to use the utility SWAPY http://code.google.com/p/swapy/. I am the Author of SWAPY. With it you can easily determine whether it is possible to manage the a control with pywinauto or not.
I have an issue when trying to test a web application with Selenium/Python. Basically I can't test elements of a pop-up window.
A scenario: I can test all elements for a page. But when I go to click on a button that opens up a small pop up box I can't test the elements on the popup. It's like the pop up isn't in focus or active.
I can test elements on the next page. For example click a button, brings me on to next page, and I can work with elements on the 'next' page. So it the problem seems to be popup specific.
I could post code but to be honest it might confuse at this stage. I may post code in a later post, thanks
There is a property called switch_to
Q: How do I handle pop up windows?
A: WebDriver offers the ability to cope with multiple windows. This is done by using the WebDriver.switch_to.window(knownName) method to switch to a window with a known name.
If the name is not known, you can use WebDriver.window_handles to obtain a list of known windows.
You may pass the handle to switch_to.window(handleName)
For example I used driverName.switchTo.window(driverName.getWindowHandle()) to get a hold of popups for which I didn't want to look for names.

For the Selenium RC API, you need to use the SelectWindow command to switch to the pop-up window. The window can be specified either by its name (as specified on the JavaScript window.open() function) or its title. To switch back to the main window, use SelectWindow(None).
