Automatic switch to previous window after closing a child window is not happening.

[Indu Naraparaju]

Hi,

We are using Selenium Chrome driver (C#) to automate our site testing process. I got stuck at this step: the parent/previous window is not getting control if the pop-up window is closed. I am not sure how to handle it.

steps:

1. Site is loaded using chrome driver.

2. Clicking on a link on the site will pop-up a new window.

3. Switching to the new pop-up window.

4. Clicking on a link on the pop-up is displaying an alert box.

5. Switching the focus to alert box and saying .Accept() on it.

6. This "Alert.Accept()" is closing the pop-up window (that is how the site is designed, if you hit ok on the confirmation, the pop-up is closed).

7. Here my code is throwing a timeout error because it is not able to load the webdriver.

My question is, how can we handle cases like this? And why isn't the control transferring from pop-up window back to parent or previous window when the pop-up is closed?

Thanks,

Indu.
