Geb not pointing to right page after after closing confirm dialogue in new window

[sai.c...@spartancamera.com]

I am doing test automation with geb in groovy, curently dealing with scenario like: First, I am in parent window, from there I open new window and do some search there, Clicking on the search result generates a confirm dialogue and updates the value in parent page, Bypassing the dialog with withConfirm(). then I come to parent window but nothing executes after that. I think geb is getting confused between pages.

In parent Page

  open new window 

  search for something  

  click on the first search result

  clicking on it opens a confirm dialog 

  click okay and close the new window 

continue with parent window

My code looks like:

withNewWindow(close: false,wait:true,{$(button that opens new window).click()}) {

        waitFor{

            title == "title"

        }

        withConfirm(wait: true){$(cause to open confirm dialog).click()}

        }

$("input[name='button'][id='SAVE_FOOTER']").click()

}

Error:

Can anyone help me with this? or can anyone update the status on git? https://github.com/geb/issues/issues/568

[Marcin Erdmann]

As suggested in my reply to your Stack Overflow question, this looks like an issue in Geb with handling alerts - thanks for filing a ticket in the tracker for it. 

I suggested using the native (WebDriver API) way of handling alerts to work around the issue in this comment: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55147545/geb-not-pointing-to-right-page-after-closing-confirm-dialog-in-new-window/55158497#comment97089979_55158497 and pointed you at a tutorial which explains that I mean by handling alerts using WebDriver API: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55147545/geb-not-pointing-to-right-page-after-closing-confirm-dialog-in-new-window/55158497#comment97149900_55158497. 

To be honest with you, I'm not sure what kind of help are you expecting apart from what has been already provided.

Marcin

Then more I am working with GEB - then more I understand how poor it is, sometimes it easier to use clean Selenium or add Selenide to your dependency. Sorry for off-topic.

You are entitled to your own opinion. Thankfully there is a lot of people who would not agree with you.

All the best,

Marcin

[Brian Kotek]

Agreed.

Don't let one self-entitled person bring you down, Marcin. Everyone else appreciates your efforts on Geb. Thanks for all you do.

Yes, Marcin, you are right, but my opinion was built on current topics, I have never seen such a big amount of questions without answers. My opinion Geb - full of mistakes product and has no growth. Selenide for example much easier, better community and very fast fixing any issues.

Best regards,

Marcin, Great work on building Geb. I really appreciate your quick responses as well.   

I tried using the native web driver. But It don't know. 

To be more precise, I am using the above described scenario(handling an alert in new window) on suite CRM to update records. When I use the native web driver it works exactly only once on each record, if I try to do it again on the same record it gives me the same error (https://github.com/geb/issues/issues/568). I wonder if geb or my browser try to save cache. I tried again after deleting cache but it didn't worked. It might be also an issue with suiteCRM. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Full of mistakes?  The only times I have had problems with Geb is when I misunderstood something and didn't use it correctly.  And even then, Marcin is usually quick to respond and provide help when asked (provided he isn't on holiday).  Has no growth?  Geb has come a long way and has 8 releases since the beginning of 2017.

You might be entitled to your own opinion, but it's wrong especially when it can be proven false pretty easily based on the reasons you dislike it.

I agree with Brian.  Geb is fantastic and I appreciate everything Marcin and others have done for it.

Cool, go use Selenide. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to help a demanding, self-entitled user with vague, unconstructive complaints.

[Gordon Freeman]

Ok, how can I do the next things in GEB:

1. Switching between tabs (I have the same titles)

2. Switch to alert dialog in IE and accept it. I spent 2 hours (using withAlert and withConfirm) then decided to do that in selenium - browser.switchTo.alert.accept

3. Wait until element disappear

4. BTW in Selenide I can get clear stack trace when something failed and automatically will be created screenshot and HTML file, in GEB I can see some unreadable data.

5. Selenide works with JUnit 5 ! I hope not necessary to explain which features have JUnit5

6. How can I do cycles (for example: create few users) in GEB if page with list of users and creation user page - are various. Every time I have to do this: 

at UserListPage
at CreationUserPage
etc...

7. WaitFor - something very strange, sometimes it works, sometimes I need to create my custom waiter.

8. How to get collections? In Selenide I can use - $$ 

 

Guys, I like Groovy and working on UI automation with GEB, because customer wants, but even after few months using it - I still can not get used and very often use just selenium.

[Roman Tretyak]

Why are you so pissed off, sir? Selenide for sure is a great tool and they must have their own mail list. Why flaming here? Also, you can resend the same to your customer, I'm sure he knows that you are an experienced professional worth listening to.

Btw, most of the 'issues' above made me smile, sorry.

Sai,

The fact that it fails with the same error when using native WebDriver alert handling suggests to me that this might be an underlying issue with the page you're testing or the driver you're using and not really an issue in Geb (even though I plan to look closer at the ticket you submitted in the near future anyway because I have spotted something suspicious in that part of the codebase).. Have you tried running the test using different drivers? If so, is the error the same across all of them?
