I'm testing a functionnality on a website that allows the user to fill a form. At a moment, the users needs to click on a button, which triggers an Ajax loaded modal that allows him to upload a file. However, when I trigger the button, Behat doesn't seem to "see" the modal window.
Maybe I should precise I'm in a Drupal 8 environment, but I don't know if this changed anything
Just so we're clear, I'm not talking about an alert, but this kind of modal
So far my tests looks like this:
Scenario: Creates a stage test with two sessions
Given I am on "/user/login"
And I fill in "user#user.com" for "name"
And I fill in "password" for "pass"
And I press "Log in"
Then I should get a "200" HTTP response
And I should see "User Name"
When I go to "/node/add/stage"
Then I should get a "200" HTTP response
And I should see "Add content CISIA Stage"
When I fill in "Test Cisia Stage" for "edit-title-0-value"
And I press "Select files"
Then I should see "Upload files" <-- fails
And I should see "Click or drop files here to upload them" <-- gets ignored but is likely to fail too
I can't find anything modal-related on SO or Google in general, only about small message alerts, and people talk about objects or functions I don't have (such as getWebDriver())
I also tried to find the modal's content by myself by doing so:
public function iShouldSeeAModalWindow() {
$element = $this->getSession()->getPage();
$modal = $element->find('css', sprintf('div:contains("%s")', 'Upload files'));
if($modal) {
exit('Yaaaay!');
}
else {
throw new Exception("No modal found");
}
}
However I got no luck so far.
What should I do?
You have an iframe and you need to switch to it.
Use something like this:
$this->getSession()->getDriver()->switchToIFrame('iframe_name');
I think you should also consider to write your scenario on a high level basis and also use page objects extension to avoid getting long scenarios that are hard to maintain and unreadable and also to reuse as much code as possible.
Follow Behavior Driven Development methodology.

I cannot seem to get Chrome to pop up an "alert" page. The alert page has code in it, so it can't really be a DIV or I would just do it that way. It worked for many years, but likely do to a Chrome update it will no longer function. Still works fine in IE11, though.
The following code is used to pop up an "alert" page when there is an alert that is queried from a Database. It has always worked until recently (15 years and running)
CODE:
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(Page), "Alarm", "<script language='javascript'>window.showModalDialog('Alarm.aspx?ID=" & AlarmID & "', null, 'dialogWidth=460px;dialogHeight=310px;status=no;resizable=yes');document.frmA.submit();</script>")
I've tried a few things like windows.open and creating a hidden button on the asp.net page and then using the click event. Nothing works. I do not see a blocked popup in Chrome and I have even went into settings and did the following:
Set Safe Browsing to "No Protection"
Set allow pop-ups and redirects on the server name (http://servername and http://localhost)
As noted, near all browsers quite much have clamped down on popup windows. this makes things more difficult for web developers.
There are two good approaches. one I don't fancy at all is using bootstrap dialogs, but they tend to "sort of work all on their own" kind of deal based on class settings for divs etc. - really hard to debug.
Since near all sites these days include jQuery for your js code, then I quite much hands down recommend you introduce jquery.UI. It has a whole slew of nice things such as date pickers etc. But it also has a rather nice dialog pop option. They just work, and when you code them up? They follow "normal" like code approaches.
it not quite clear if your message/dialog pops after say a button click (and post back), and the at the end of that process, you need/want some dialog message to display. But all in all, I would high recommend jQuery.UI for this dialog/message that you need.
jQuery.UI in most cases expects the content you want to "display/pop" exists in a simple div in the current existing page. However, it also works VERY well if you supply the dialog another existing web page. The only REAL big issue to keep in mind? That dialog page you pop cannot handle multiple post-backs. (so, some buttons, or ONE post back in that dialog is fine - but you ONLY get the ONE post-back.
So, if that page display allows some input, or some interaction and ONLY requires ONE post-back, then jQuery.UI is again great. If that pop page requires several buttons and several post-backs, then you are in for a world of pain and hurt - jQuery.UI dialogs (like most) cannot survive or handle multiple postbacks. Any post-back means the dialog closes (collapses). So in those cases, you have to adopt ajax calls (web methods) if you need/have/want that page to have more then one active post-back button or event.
So, you could have/place a script in even your master page, and little function code stub that your register script can call.
Or, I suppose you could inject the whole script, but the script would look like this:
So, the pop page actualy is SHOVED into a div. So we have a div that "holds" the page.
The jQuery.UI code script then looks like this:
<div id="poppagearea">
</div>
<script>
function showpage() {
var mydiv = $('#poppagearea');
mydiv.dialog({
autoOpen: false, modal: true, title: 'My cool other page', width: '30%',
position: { my: 'top', at: 'top+150' },
buttons: {
'ok': function () {
mydiv.dialog('close');
alert('user click ok');
},
'cancel': function () {
mydiv.dialog('close');
alert('user click cancel');
}
}
});
mydiv.load('Default.aspx');
// Open the dialog
mydiv.dialog('open');
}
So, in above, we loaded "default.aspx" into that dialog and thus displayed it on the page.
So, I would consider jQuery.UI - but it does mean adopting a new js library into your existing project.
The pop page does gray out the full page, and you do get a title bar, and your own ok, cancel button. The above thus looks like this:
So, it does a great job - but as noted, that page can only have one post-back, and it can't be a general working aspx page with lots of buttons and post backs - but it will render and display rather well.
So I would like to be able to have a print button for entries in our database so users can print an entry via a print friendly "form".
My thought was to create a separate page, add labels and have those labels pull the relevant information.
I know I can add the open widget information via this code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showPage(app.pages.TestPrint);
But I'm running into a few problems:
I can't get the page to open in a new window. Is this possible?
window.open(app.pages.TestPrint);
Just gives me a blank page. Does the browser lose the widget source once the new window opens?
I can't get the print option (either onClick or onDataLoad) to print JUST the image (or widget). I run
window.print();
And it includes headers + scroll bars. Do I need to be running a client side script instead?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
To get exactly what you'd want you'd have to do a lot of work.
Here is my suggested, simpler answer:
Don't open up a new tab. If you use showPage like you mention, and provide a "back" button on the page to go back to where you were, you'll get pretty much everything you need. If you don't want the back to show up when you print, then you can setVisibility(false) on the button before you print, then print, then setVisibility(true).
I'll give a quick summary of how you could do this with a new tab, but it's pretty involved so I can't go into details without trying it myself. The basic idea, is you want to open the page with a full URL, just like a user was navigating to it.
You can use #TestPrint to indicate which page you want to load. You also need the URL of your application, which as far as I can remember is only available in a server-side script using the Apps Script method: ScriptApp.getService().getUrl(). On top of this, you'll probably need to pass in the key so that your page knows what data to load.
So given this, you need to assemble a url by calling a server script, then appending the key property to it. In the end you want a url something like:
https://www.script.google.com/yourappaddress#TestPage?key=keyOfYourModel.
Then on TestPage you need to read the key, and load data for that key. (You can read the key using google.script.url).
Alternatively, I think there are some tricks you can play by opening a blank window and then writing directly to its DOM, but I've never tried that, and since Apps Script runs inside an iframe I'm not sure if it's possible. If I get a chance I'll play with it and update this answer, but for your own reference you could look here: create html page and print to new tab in javascript
I'm imagining something like that, except that your page an write it's html content. Something like:
var winPrint = window.open('', '_blank', 'left=0,top=0,width=800,height=600,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0');
winPrint.document.write(app.pages.TestPage.getElement().innerHTML);
winPrint.document.close();
winPrint.focus();
winPrint.print();
winPrint.close();
Hope one of those three options helps :)
So here is what I ended up doing. It isn't elegant, but it works.
I added a Print Button to a Page Fragment that pops up when a user edits a database entry.
Database Edit Button code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showDialog(app.pageFragments.FragmentName);
That Print Button goes to a different (full) Page and closes the Fragment.
Print Button Code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showPage(app.pages.ModelName_Print);
app.closeDialog();
I made sure to make the new Print Page was small enough so that Chrome fits it properly into a 8.5 x 11" page (728x975).
I then created a Panel that fills the page and populated the page with Labels
#datasource.item.FieldName
I then put the following into the onDataLoad for the Panel
window.print();
So now when the user presses the Print Button in the Fragment they are taken to this new page and after the data loads they automatically get a print dialog.
The only downside is that after printing the user has to use a back button I added to return to the database page.
1.
As far as I know, you cannot combine window.open with app.pages.*, because
window.open would require url parameter at least, while app.pages.* is essentially an internal routing mechanism provided by App Maker, and it returns page object back, suitable for for switching between pages, or opening dialogs.
2.
You would probably need to style your page first, so like it includes things you would like to have printed out. To do so please use #media print
ex: We have a button on the page and would like to hide it from print page
#media print {
.app-NewPage-Button1 {
display : none;
}
}
Hope it helps.
1. Here is how it is done, in a pop up window, without messing up the current page (client script):
function print(widget, title){
var content=widget.getElement().innerHTML;
var win = window.open('', 'printWindow', 'height=600,width=800');
win.document.write('<head><title>'+title+'/title></head>');
win.document.write('<body>'+content+'</body>');
win.document.close();
win.focus();
win.print();
win.close();
}
and the onclick handler for the button is:
print(widget.root.descendants.PageFragment1, 'test');
In this example, PageFragment1 is a page fragment on the current page, hidden by adding a style with namehidden with definition .hidden{display:none;} (this is different than visible which in App Maker seems to remove the item from the DOM). Works perfectly...
2. You cannot open pages from the app in another tab. In principle something like this would do it:
var w=window.parent.parent;
w.open(w.location.protocol+'//'+w.location.host+w.location.pathname+'#PrintPage', '_blank');
But since the app is running in frame nested two deep from the launching page, and with a different origin, you will not be able to access the url that you need (the above code results in a cross origin frame access error). So you would have to hard code the URL, which changes at deployment, so it gets ugly very fast. Not that you want to anyway, the load time of an app should discourage you from wanting to do that anyway.
I am trying to download information from a website and I have hit (yet another) brick wall in a long and tiresome journey to get something productive developed.
I have a program which uses WebBrowser to login to a site - with a valid username and password - therby allowing me to set up a legitimate connection to it and retrieve information (my own) from it.
From the initial page presented to me after login, I can use WebBrowser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("A") and WebBrowser.Document.GetElementById("Some Id") etc. to work my way around the website, and processing all the DocumentCompleted events returned until ... I arrive at a page which appears to have a TabControl embedded in it.
I need to be able to choose the middle Tab of this control, and retrieve the information it holds. When I access this information 'normally' (i.e. from IE and not from my WebBrowser program) I can click each of the three tabs and information duly appears - so its there, tantalisingly so ... but can I manupulate these Tabs from my program? I feel it should be possible, but I can't see how I can do it.
The problem manifests itself because when I am processing the page which has the Tab in it my code looks like this:
static void wb_TabPage(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
WebBrowser wb = (WebBrowser)sender;
HtmlElement element;
element = wb.Document.GetElementById("Bills"); // Find the "Bills" tab
element.InvokeMember("Click"); // Click the "Bills" tab
// Unhook THIS routine from DocumentCompleted delivery
wb.DocumentCompleted -= new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(wb_TabPage);
// Hook up this routine - for the next 'Document Completed' delivery - which never arrives!
wb.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(wb_Bills);
return;
}
And that's the problem - no more Documents are ever 'Completed' for me to process, even after the InvokeMember("Click"). It seems for all the world that the Tabs are being updated inplace, and no amount of Refresh(ing) or Navigating or Event Handling will allow me to get to a place or in a position where I can get the data from them
Does anybody have any idea how I can do this? Does anybody know how to manipulate Tabs from WebBrowser? Thanks in advance if you do ...
Try using the findcontrol function on your page. You will likely need to drill into the tab control itself to find the tab page and the controls contained in it.
I am using asp.net and I need to display a prompt to the user if they have made changes to the web page, and they accidentally close down the browser.
The page could be anything from "Edit Profile" to a "Submit a Claim" etc.
How can I can display the messagebox, ensuring that it is displayed only if changes have been made (as opposed to, the user making changes, then undo-ing the changes, and shutting down the browser)
What I have done in the past is use some client side scripting which does this check during the onbeforeunload event....
var showPrompt=true;
var isDirty=false;
var hidePopup=false;
function onBeforeUnload() {
if (showPrompt) {
if (isDirty) {
if (hidePopup || confirm("Click ok to save your changes or click cancel to discard your changes.")) {
doSave();
}
}
}
showPrompt = true;
hidePopup = false;
}
ShowPrompt can be set to false when your clicking on an anchor tag which won't navigate you away from the page. For example <a onclick='showPrompt=false' href='javascript:doX()'/>
isDirty can be used to track when you need to save something. You could for example do something like $("input").onchange(function(){isDirty=true;}); To track undo's you might want to replace isDirty with a function which checks the current state from the last saved state.
HidePopup lets us force a save without confirming to the user.
That's very difficult to even touch without understanding what's on the page. If it's a few controls you capture value at page load and store them so you can later compare. If it's a complex page you'd need to do an exact comparison to the entire viewstate.
Typically you'd handle this type of situation by setting a boolean to TRUE the first time any change is made and disregard the user changing it back. If you're just trying to avoid accidential non-save of data the user should be smart enough to know they've "undone" their changes.
You can do this with javascript. See this question and either of the first two answers.
I am writing an intranet application and am considering the use of a pop up window. I am not worried about accessibility since it's an intranet app.
The scenario is such as I need to be able to have the same code be used in a server page as well as in the middle of a process; which is why I decided when using it in the middle of the process, it's best to have it as a pop up window to running out of the real estate on the screen.
Any thoughts on this? I am hesitant to use a pop up window in such a manner as I usually only use it for error messages.
I don't completely understand what you're trying to do, but I think a popup window might be somewhat of an issue if the user's browser automatically blocks popup windows. Plus, if you were trying to run a process in the popup window, the user could close it and no longer have a way to check on the process.
Would it be possible to use Ajax to call back to a web service that gives the page information about the process? You could give the user a way to make the Ajax call to check on the status of the process or just have it continually polling in the background.
Edit:
You said you weren't too familiar with Ajax. For the most part, there are libraries to handle all the of hard details. I'll recommend jQuery because that's what I've been using for a while now.
If you go the Ajax route you'll be able to contain everything on one page and make the updates you need to make when the Ajax call is successful. Depending on how you write the code, it should be pretty reusable if you do it right. It really depends on how specific the your needs on each page.
Take a look at the jQuery documentation though. It may have what you need already built into it. Otherwise, someone else might be able to suggest some reasons why their favorite JavaScript library works better for what you're trying to do.
I think you might want to do something like this:
Inside of the parent page:
<input id="btnShowModal" runat="server" type="button" value='Show Modal' onclick="ShowModal()" />
function ShowModal()
{
var retVal = window.showModalDialog("MyPopup.aspx?param1=value","","center=yes;dialogWidth=200px;dialogHeight=200px;status:0;help:0")
if(retVal != "" && retVal != undefined)
{
//This code will be executed when the modal popup is closed, retVal will contain the value assigned to window.returnValue
}
}
Inside of the modal popup:
<input id="btnSave" runat="server" type="button" value='Save' onclick="Save()" />
function Save()
{
window.returnValue = "Whatever you want returned to the parent here"
window.close()
}
The usual argument against popup windows is that they are unreliable. The user may have disabled script initiated popups, I know I have.
In a controlled environment, such as an inranet, you may be able to be guaranteed that this is not the case, but even so, why risk it, there is an alternative.
Instead of popping up a new window just insert a new, absolutely positioned <div> into the document and insert your content into that using ajax or even an <iframe>. There are lots of examples/libraries on the web.
Thickbox for jQuery for example. There are of course scripts that don't require libraries.
I generally use a div with a z-index and absolute positioning; the .show() can be written and called on demand, it would have a button to .close(), and AJAX can make it seem modal so it must be clicked to close if you so desire. Then again, I hate messageboxes.
I was trying to avoid AJAX, simply because I have never used and don't have the time frame to learn it now. However, I am not totally opposed to it.
In short what I need to do is for the pop up window interact back with the page. Imagine that on the page I am building the links of the chain. Each link has unique properties. When user clicks on "ADD LINK" button, I was thinking have a pop up window with the little form and a Save button. The only issue with this is that a pop up needs to interact with the page; we need to know when something has been saved or not saved.
A div on the same page is one way. A pop up is yet another way. Another catch is that this code (adding new link) needs to be reusable, because I am also going to have a page that just creates new links.
