Closing all browsers

[Ashwini Khanna]

Hey Dmitry,

I found this code on your blog-site to close all browsers. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

While Browser("CreationTime:=0").Exist
  Browser("CreationTime:=0").Close
Wend
----------------------------------------------------------------

This code works well and closes all instances of IE. But what question arises in my mind is - when I SPY on IE Browser I can't see any property called "CreationTime"; so how does it work?

Regards,

Ashwini

use the following function for close all browsers.. instead of creation time. 

 

Creation time is the one QTP to identify browser opened sequence..  Which is not displayed in properties.. If you record your script on more than one opened browser of similar names, you will see creation time property, by right clicking and viewing on recorded script browser objects.  Following function i found from QTP resources.   you can use it by calling function name within your script. 

 

Public function close_all_browsers()
dim bcount, bcount2
if(Browser("micclass:=Browser").exist) then
       Browser("micclass:=Browser").close
end if
wait(2) 'wait for closing browsers to close
bcount = 0
while (Browser("micclass:=Browser","location:=" & bcount).exist)
bcount=bcount+1
wend
if (bcount>1) then
'msgbox "Warning: " & bcount & " browser windows found"
end if
for bcount2 = 0 to bcount -1
    Browser("micclass:=Browser","location:=0").close
next 
end function

Thanks & Regards

Srinivas,
   Here you have used Location instead of creation time ,why to complicate things if there is simple solution
The same can be done using the previous code given by Dmitry

While Browser("Location:=0").Exist
  Browser("Location:=0").Close
Wend

Ordinal identifier is the method used by QTP to index object with similar property,i have explained this at

Hi All,
There is a lovely sibgle line code that closes all browsers

SystemUtil.CloseProcessByName("IEXPLORE.EXE")

I can remind you, that QTP can run tests on FireFox too.
I can be wrong, but I don't think that below "lovely sibgle line code" will close such browsers :))

This function very often crashes browser

[Sreedhar Mallipeddi]

HI All,

U can use this "SystemUtil.CloseDescendentProcesses" This will close all the browsers and files that QTP has opened.

Hope this shall work for u ....

Thanks,

Sreedhar

Hi,

 

Once you record any list of actions on any browser, then you can find the CreationTime property in Object Repository

 

Thanks,

Hi Dhanasekar

 

Thanks for simplifying the browser closing code; even this code works on both IE & Firefox.  I tried to execute the same logic on Google Chrome browser, QTP is identifying Google Chrome browser as windows object. Enclosing sample code,   I guess most of our QTP scripts will not work when we try executing on Google Chrome browser.  This is again going to be challenging task for us, if our applications try to supporting Google Chrome browser, then we need to think on modifying scripts.  I would like to share this information with you all.  Keep up the good work... All the best...

 

Window("Google Chrome").Activate
Window("Google Chrome").WinObject("Google").Click 373,50
Window("Google Chrome").WinObject("Google").Click 532,57
Window("Google Chrome").WinObject("Google").Click 588,51

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
 We can't test on a browser which QTP doesn't support.
Thanks,
