I want to test the links that appear in a pop up in a website after pressing a button. The problem is that I dont know how to do it. I dont know the name of any buttons of the popup, and even dont know if the watin can navegate through it.
I used to check links in a website searching the button by the name (using development tool from IE to search the name of the buttons), but with the pop up I dont know.
How can i do it? There is a function to work with pop ups? How can I get the name of the elements of the pop up?
All website pages are html, javascript and css - all human readable.
Try viewing the source.
ps They are readable unless they are Flash type applications.
Install the Web Developer extension for Firefox, right-click on the element, choose Inspect Element.
You have to attach to that popup. Treat it like a normal IE window. I don't remember correctly, but try something like that:
var popup = IE.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Title of the popup"));

I have successfully loaded my chrome profile with selenium that has pre-installed extensions.
The extension in question is called Private Internet Access, but i have tried others and cannot communicate with them
I am trying to figure out how i can open the extension below and enter username&password and click login button. I have tried finding the elements in by id and class but it doesnt find them. Can someone point me down the right line for this. Thanks
I've not had the ability to try this - however I've done a lot of work with Selenium and I've created my own chrome extension.
That extension popup in the top right actually a different web page. You won't be able to interact with it due to how it's presented, but you can navigate to it.
Try this:
Open up your extension, right click anywhere and select Inspect. This will open up devtools for the popup.
In devtools, go to the console and type document.url. This will give you the URL of that popup page. (you'll also see it at the top of the title bar)
That gibberish-looking bit in the middle doesn't change - it's your chrome extension identifier. From when I created my extension and 18 months worth of updates (including migrating from chrome extension manifest v2 to v3) it has not changed for me. I think you'll be safe to use it.
Go to that URL to make sure it works. In my case it's chrome-extension://ojhcleddagaoaplflbafhpekcciikdop/popup.html
You'll notice you'll lose some of the page styling compared to the popup. When you design the popup you give it fixed dimensions - when you open it as a normal webpage, you lose that and everything gets stretched.
Finally - for your automation - put that chrome-extension:\\ url as the first step in your selenium script and do your sign in. Then, carry on with the rest of your test.
[edit] It is a requirement that the webpage spawn and open in IE and allow user manual interaction after the programmatic actions have completed.[/edit]
I've seen a lot of code examples online about opening webpages or filling in webpage textboxes and getting a return value without ever opening them visibly.
I would like to open a webpage in IE, fill in a few textbox buttons
and then click the submit button and view the results visibly.
I am able to do this with a dll called Selenium, but I do not want to use a 3rd party application and it seems that WebBrowser() should be able to do this?
I can post my failed code examples if that would help.
Thanks.
Maybe this qould fit better as a comment, but I don't have enoigh reputation.
Do you know how HTTP-Forms work?
It would probably be easier to send a HTTP-Request to the target of the form you want to fill, including the parameters you would like to fill into the form.
So you don't need any WebBrowser or similar, just a simple HttpWebRequest object, where you specity the target, the method (very likely POST) and the data you'd like to send.
You can use the webbrowser control in Winforms. It is possible to access every DOM object of the website using the control. No need to open the IE externally.
You just need to specify the webbrowser URL as your link.
Then, fill the textboxes with code,
BrowserID.Document.GetElementById("TextboxID").SetAttribute("Value", "NewVaue")
Also, you can click on the button using InvokeMember("click").
There are lots of stuff using WebBrowser. You can learn it here.
I'm writing a test using C# for our website. When a record is deleted online, a popup dialog box appears that basically asks the user to confirm. Usually I can just inspect an element by right-clicking, but when this dialog box is up, nothing can be selected, in or out of the dialog box. When I tried using the IDE to see how it would handle the dialog popup, it gave this command:
Assert.IsTrue(Regex.IsMatch(CloseAlertAndGetItsText(), "^Are you sure you want to delete this batch[\\s\\S](\n|\r\n)All claims in this batch will be permanently deleted\\.(\n|\r\n)This action cannot be undone\\.$"));
That didn't work, so I also tried:
CloseAlertAndGetItsText();
But that didn't work either.
The box has two buttons, OK and cancel, and the OK button is already highlighted, so if there is a way to just do something like this:
driver.sendKeys(return);
But driver doesn't have a sendKeys command to call on its own.
driver.SwitchTo().Alert().Accept();
That should be able to handle the type of dialog box you're describing. I've been able to use it for any dialog I've had to come across, so it works pretty well. I've also read about using IAlert but since I've never needed to use it, I have no idea how well it works, but if my solution doesn't work for you, maybe look into that.
I want to pop a web browser popup window, with a given url, from Silverlight.
When running within the browser I use HtmlPage.Window.Invoke() to run a javascript and its window.open() in the host browser. Works fine.
But when I run out-of-browser (OOB) this technique obviously doesn't work. So, what to do?
Silverlight 4 has this new WebBrowser control for use when running OOB. It works fine, but I have only been able to run it in a child window within the silverlight application boundaries.
Then there is this hyperlink trick. Also works, but it creates a new tab in the current browser-instance. Not exactly what I want either.
Anything I have missed?
(Alternatively; is there a a way to make the hyperlink pop the url in the same browserinstance and tab every time? instead of creating new tabs.)
Bit of a long post this. Sorry about that and thank you for your patience.
The link you posted to creating a derived HyperlinkButton is the only one I know of. Maybe play around with different TargetName values to see which one works like you want? "_blank", "_new", etc... - one of them may be what you want.
The trouble is that different browsers (when set as the default browser) may do different things, so be sure to try this with IE, Firefox, on a Mac, ...
my objective is to attach a context menu (vista and win7) whenever user right clicks a picture/file.
I've got the file portion down (ie, they right click on a file and my menu shows up) but I am having trouble understanding what I would need to do in terms of right clicking in firefox or ie .
I am trying to add a context menu whenever someone right clicks on an image file in IE or firefox. is that possible?
If you want to plug in to what happens inside the user's browser, you should probably write a browser extension to do that, instead of trying to hack up something awful that sort of does what you want maybe.
The best solution would be to develop a plug-in for the browser used by your user, whether it be for Internet Explorer, FireFox or Chrome etc..
Trying to create some sort of hack will only lead to a bad experience for your user so it's better to develop something that would work properly.
Here's a few links to get you going in the right direction:

Mozilla FireFox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Plug-in_Development_Overview
(I can't seem to find any for Internet Explorer)
I'm sorry i cannot give you a definitive answer but hopefully this should get the ball rolling for you at least.
is that possible?
NO
