无法在Ruby Watir中聚焦新窗口

Question

I have done a lot of research before asking this questions but unable to find an answer.

I am trying to automate a website using Ruby Selenium + Webdriver. I am having an issue with the script hanging once new window opened. I am unable to focus on new window or do anything else.

Here is the code that opens up new window:

<a id="theField" class="RightTextHeading" onclick="javascript:openTheWindow('someInfo.aspx?type=','300','300');if(window.document.RetValue == '5'){window.parent.LoadinIframe('someStuff.aspx?info=N&amp;Stuff=','Some Data here > Full View','false');}; return false;" href="../MoreStuff/#" style="text-decoration: none;">ClickMe <span class="context"> opens an overlay</span></a>

Here is my ruby code:

    require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require 'selenium-webdriver'

prefs = {
  :download => {
    :prompt_for_download => false,
    :default_directory => '.'
  }
}
client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
#client.timeout = 600 # seconds - default is 60
client.timeout = 30 # seconds - default is 60
d = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :prefs => prefs, :http_client => client
b = Watir::Browser.new d

saved_cookies = b.cookies.to_a

b.goto'https://somewebsite.com'
begin
    b.iframe(:id => 'iframeBody').a(:id => "somelink").click
rescue
    puts 'Rescue'
end
sleep 2
puts "before"
#if b.window(:title=>"The new window").exists?
   #puts " Test passed. New window opened!"
#else
   #puts " Test Failed! No window found"
#end
#b.window(:title => /The new window/).use do
#b.window.last.use do
#   puts "here" 
#end
#puts b.window(:title => "The new window").exists?
puts b.windows.size
puts "after"

#b.close

I have commented out different things I attempted to make this work. It seems that Ruby just sits and waits after the new window is opened and I do not know how to get it out of the waiting state.

If I do not begin/rescue, the code stops execution until it times out. When I am trying to rescue I can get control back but still unable to focus on the new window.

Any ideas are appreciated? Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks, -Andrey

Answer 1

Im not entirely sure what your trying to do with the test, but the answer on how to do something with the new window is already in your code to some extent

#b.window.last.use do

should be

#b.windows.last.use 

or

@browser.windows.last.use

Will have your test start using the new window once it appears.

Depending on what your trying to do, may change where in your code that line should go. But that will let you access and interact with the new window.
