Handling Windows Dialogs Using Selenium Part 2

In order to identify the Window Object properties, we use a tool provided by Microsoft called UISpy.
Download UISpy from here

When you run this tool, you can view all the windows objects along with their properties.

The following image shows the Properties for "RUN" dialog box.

From the above image, we can see the list of identification properties (Highlighted in red) for the Edit Box. We use some of this Properties to Identify an Object.


Note:


Add the jacob-(version-bit-type).dll file in your project Root Directory.
or
Place it in any directory and use the below code to load the DLL file.

for 32 Bit : jacob-version-x86.dll
for 64 Bit : jacob-version-x64.dll

Ex:

System.setProperty("jacob.dll.path", "D:\\jacob-1.17-M2-x86.dll");

LibraryLoader.loadJacobLibrary(); 

After the above code, you can test the following snippets.

Sample Code To Test Run Window:

public static void testRUN() throws AWTException, WindowsHandlerException {

              WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

              WindowElement runWindowElement = handler.getWindowElement("Run");

              WindowElement textBoxElement = handler.findElementByClassName(

                           runWindowElement, "Edit");

              handler.clearText(textBoxElement);

              handler.typeKeys(textBoxElement, "notepad");

              WindowElement okButton = handler.findElementByName(runWindowElement,

                           "OK");

              handler.click(okButton);

       }

The below are the various methods provided by the API to identify an Object.

1. findElementByName
2. findElementByClassName
3. findElementByNameAndClassName
4. findElementByAutomationID 
5. findElementByLocalizedControlType
6. findElementByNameAndLocalizedControlType 

Sample Code for Downloading a file in Firefox:

public static void testDownloadFirefox() throws WindowsHandlerException, InterruptedException {

     driver.get("http://www.zkoss.org/zkdemo/file_handling/file_download");

     driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]   /div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div[2]/span/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]"))

     .click();

     Thread.sleep(3000);

     WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

     WindowElement firefoxElement = handler

                     .getWindowElement("ZK Live Demo - File Download - Mozilla Firefox");

     WindowElement downloadElement = handler.findElementByClassName(firefoxElement,     "MozillaDialogClass");

     WindowElement saveRadioButton = handler.findElementByName(downloadElement, "Save File"); 

     handler.click(saveRadioButton);

     WindowElement okButton = handler.findElementByName(downloadElement,"OK");

     handler.click(okButton);

}


Sample Code for Uploading a file in Firefox:

public static void testUploadFileFirefox() throws AWTException,

                     WindowsHandlerException, InterruptedException {

      driver.get("http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/ex/fup.html");

      driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/form/input")).click();

      Thread.sleep(3000);

      WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

      WindowElement firefoxElement = handler

                   .getWindowElement("Sample File Upload Form - Mozilla Firefox");

      WindowElement uploadElement = handler.findElementByName(firefoxElement,

                   "File Upload");

      WindowElement fileNamePath = handler.findElementByNameAndClassName(uploadElement,  "File name:", "Edit");

      handler.typeKeys(fileNamePath, System.getProperty("user.dir")+ "\\sample.txt");

      WindowElement openButton = handler.findElementByName(uploadElement,"Open");

          handler.click(openButton);

  }

Sample Code for Handling Authentication in Firefox - Tomcat Authentication:

public static void testTomcatAuthenticationInFirefox()

               throws WindowsHandlerException, AWTException, InterruptedException {

        driver.get("http://localhost:8080/");

        driver.findElement(

                      By.xpath("/html/body/div/div[3]/div[3]/div[2]/a/span")).click();

        Thread.sleep(3000);

        WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

        WindowElement firefoxWindowElement = handler

                     .getWindowElement("Apache Tomcat/7.0.42 - Mozilla Firefox");

        WindowElement authenticationElement = handler.findElementByName(

                      firefoxWindowElement, "Authentication Required");

        WindowElement userNameElement = handler

                      .findElementByNameAndLocalizedControlType(

                                      authenticationElement, "User Name:", "edit");

        handler.typeKeys(userNameElement, "admin");

        WindowElement passwordElement = handler

                      .findElementByNameAndLocalizedControlType(

                                      authenticationElement, "Password:", "edit");

        handler.typeKeys(passwordElement, "admin");

        WindowElement okButton = handler.findElementByName(

                      authenticationElement, "OK");

        handler.click(okButton);

 }

Using Java Threads:

The above examples works fine for downloading, uploading and windows authentication.

This section describes windows authentication when you encounter a Authentication Dialog Box as soon as you open the Browser using selenium. In this kind of scenarios, selenium does not execute further steps unless the Authentication Dialog box is closed. which means if you write the Windows handler Code after the browser has opened, the Windows Handler Login code will not execute.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.get("url");

            // Following code Wont Execute if Windows Authentication Dialog is 

            // Opened right after driver.get("url") is called

            WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

            // Develop Code For Handling the Dialog Box

            // further test code follows

            //driver.findElement ...

To Handle this kind of scenarios. We use Java Threads to perform Windows Authentication using a separate Thread.

// Define a Separate Thread class that will wait for Certain amount of time for // the Login Dialog Box to appear and then Window Hanlder Code will execute

public class Authenticator extends Thread {

      @Override

      public void run() {

            try {

                  Thread.sleep(5000);

                  WindowHandler handler = new WindowHandler();

                  // Develop Code For Handling the Dialog Box

            } catch (WindowsHandlerException e) {

                  e.printStackTrace();

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                  e.printStackTrace();

            }

      }

}

In our Selenium Test Class we call the Thread as follows

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            // We Start the Thread before driver.get() method

            // so that the Thread can execute in parallel, once the Window

            // Authentication Dialog is opened

            // The Window Handler Code Executes

            Authenticator authenticator = new Authenticator();

            authenticator.start();

            driver.get("url");

            // further test code follows

            // driver.findElement ...
