Use Auto it to handle windows popups

@Manohar,

You cannot use AutoIT out of the box in a grid like environment, when your tests are running in a remote machine.

@Giri,

You cannot use Robot (or) AutoIT (or) any other tool for that matter, when it comes to interacting with OS dialog boxes in a Grid environment [ especially when your Node where the test runs is a different machine and your tests are being triggered from a different machine ] out of the box. You would need to build some customizations before you can do it.

Here's how :

1. Build a Servlet that can be injected into the Node which when invoked can trigger a Robot driven action.

2. Hook the servlet into the node and spawn the node.

3. Now start the Grid and run your test.

4. Just before you are supposed to land in the place wherein the OS dialog box appears, fetch the session Id 

5. Using the session Id, now invoke your node servlet which would do the AutoIt/Robot driven action.

PS : For this to be done, you would need to ensure that your Grid can run only 1 concurrent session at a time else your AutoIT/Robot action would be triggered on the wrong browser window.

Some resources that you can refer to, to get this done :

• How to retrieve the IP and Port of the Node to which my test was routed to, by the Grid : Refer to my blog here.
• How to customize the Grid. Refer here.

I think you can use Switch to Alert through Selenium grid and i have already closed windows Alert throgh grid. What kind of popup it is, can you send screen shot ?

Hi Krishnan,

Thanks for providing this info. I was wondering if there is any video of this process, or, if there is are any c# specific steps,  could you point them to me?

I am a C# guy and trying to tranlsate this info for use with C# bindings. I am able to execute test cases on grid but just not Autoit commands. 

Thanks very much in advance :)

The official uber binary for the Grid is based on Java. So I guess you would need to use Java only here.

 

Thanks & Regards
