Grrr! click_no_wait does not work :-(

[Rats]

I've been looking at ways of handling pop ups and it appears the way
to go is via click_no_wait. Unfortunately this is not working for me
as when I run the click_no_wait command it just flashes the button and
does not click it hence no popup window.

I'm running:

ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
watir (1.6.5)

Any ideas? Thanks.

Might be a simplistic answer, but have you set focus to the child popup window?

Is the popup triggered by an onclick event, or an onmouseup or onmousedown event? If it's the latter, watir won't trigger it; #click and #click_no_wait don't do those events. you'll have to explicitly fire_event_no_wait('onmousedown') or mouseup.

I am fairly sure it's not a hidden pop up or anything like that as if
I manually click the button (after click_no_wait flashes it) the pop
up is displayed.

.click by itself works fine it's only click_no_wait which flashes the
button and does not "click" it.

This is turning into a real nightmare as we've introduced confirm pop
ups in a number of places and all my scripts are stalling at this
point. :-(

All I can say is that .click works.

I've tried fire_event_no_wait without any success. Again it does the
same thing by flashing the button and the pop up down not launch.

Hi,
There is an issue with click_no_wait in 1.6.5 . Pls read this http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-320
Try adding the patch to page_container.rb
This fix should get your click_no_wait working.

Regards,
Pallavi

I've written in my blog about a method how to debug problems related
to click_no_wait at http://www.itreallymatters.net/post/378669758/debugging-watirs-click-no-wait-method-problems

It might not be the same problem as in the mentioned bug, but just
make sure :)
