Selenium Webdriver and Modal Panels

[Luiz Gustavo Schroeder Vieira]

Hi guys,


I cannot use .sendKeys("") to a textfield (inside a Modal Panel).

Check my code:
        // Configuring Firefox to run with no proxy
        DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
        Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
        proxy.setNoProxy("http://homologacao.trt12.jus.br/");
        cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(cap);
       
        // Managing 20 seconds timeouts
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       
        // Get to the URL
        driver.get("http://homologacao.trt12.jus.br/proad");
       
        // Mapped the screen fields
        WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
        WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
        WebElement submit = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.formSubmit"));
       
        // Login//Password - Enter
        login.sendKeys("PROAD2");
        password.sendKeys("proad2");
        submit.click();
       
        // Browsing to the CreateMinuta screen
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Estou tratando")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[@id='coluna11TabInterna']/table/tbody/tr[8]/td")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='corpo:formulario:barraAcoes']/fieldset/div/div[2]/img")).click();

        // CreateMinuta screen
        System.out.println("Arrives in the screen CreateMinuta!");
       
        WebElement modalPanel = driver.findElement(By.id("corpo:formulario:painelGenericoContainer"));
        System.out.println("Mapped the modal panel!");
       
        modalPanel.click();
        System.out.println("Clicked in the modal panel!");
       
        WebElement dsArquivo = modalPanel.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='corpo:formulario:dsArquivo']"));
        System.out.println("Mapped the field DsArquivo!");
               
        dsArquivo.isDisplayed();
        dsArquivo.isEnabled();
//       
        System.out.println("the field exists!!");

        String teste = "teste123";
        dsArquivo.sendKeys(teste);
        System.out.println("the text was insert!!");

Check the console:
Arrives in the screen CreateMinuta!
Mapped the modal panel!
Clicked in the modal panel!
Mapped the field DsArquivo!
the field exists!!

How can I use .sendKeys inside a Modal Panel? Does anyone can help me?

Try to get the url of the modal window and open it in a new browser window, you would be able to locate the element once control gets in the new window.
Hope this helps,

I did that and displays the following error message:

I got it, I used directly the driver, not the modalPanel to map the field.

Before:
WebElement modalPanel = driver.findElement(By.id("

corpo:formulario:painelGenericoContainer"));

WebElement dsArquivo = modalPanel.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='corpo:formulario:dsArquivo']"));

Now:
WebElement dsArquivo = driver.findElement(By.

xpath("//*[@id='corpo:formulario:dsArquivo']"));

Thanks mate!

Hmm.. I got a new problem:

The URL I am using to get straight to the modal panel is losing reference to the page I've been before.

Is there any way to get to the modal panel without loosing its reference?
