Question

I have web page when I click on a link it opens a modal dialog (Dialog A) and when I click on a button in 'Dialog A' it opens another modal dialog (Dialog B) after doing some operation on 'Dialog B' I'm saving and closing the 'Dialog B' to switch to 'Dialog A' this is where I'm getting the below web driver exception. 'Dialog B' is getting closed successfully issue is occurring when switching to 'Dialog A'.

Below is the exception that I'm getting:

I have tried closing the modal dialog window using below methods and tried switching to its parent but still no luck.

• Closing the modal dialog by clicking on the close button and try switching to parent window – NOT WORKED
• Executing the Java Script of the close button and try switching to parent window – NOT WORKED
• Closing the modal dialog using “window.close()” and try switching to parent window – NOT WORKED
• Closing the modal dialog using IWebDriver.Close() method and try switching to parent window – NOT WORKED

I'm using Selenium web driver v2.48

Can anyone please help me on this.

As a workaround, I switched to modal dialog 'Dialog A' and used IWebDriver.Close() method to close that modal dialog which closed the modal dialog 'Dialog B' as well (since Dialog A is the parent for Dialog B). By doing this web driver doesn't timed out when switching to the main web page.
