how to handle windows based popup during parallel execution using auto it - (Moved)

[bbc]

 

In our project we got a situation to handle an windows based popup after clicking on 'SignIn' button.

We handled it using AutoIt.

But the real problem occurs while we are trying to handle popup during parallel execution on local machine.

While trying to handle the windows based popup on multiple chrome instances autoIt is not able to handle the popup.

Please suggest

 

Notes: I am currently using webdriver Io, Mocha Framework for automation

Can you show us an example of one of these popups? Also, it would help if you elaborated on "not able to handle". Show us your code and explain what isn't working as expected.

This is the popup I need to handle once login into my application 

 

I am writing the following code to  handle the pop up , 

if (os.platform() === "win32") {
                var au = require('autoit');
                browser.pause(1000);
                au.Init();
                // au.WinActivate("MediaCloud");
                var processId=  au.WinGetProcess("MediaCloud");
               //
                //    au.WinWaitActive( processId,60);
                au.WinActivate(processId);
                au.Send("{TAB}{ENTER}");

 

It is working fine when I am launching my application in single chrome browser instance. But when I am doing parallel testing i.e launching the same application URL in different chrome  instances( Currently 3 instances), the above pop up isn't handling

These are the vales I am getting when I inspect the window with autoIt

Can you post a pic of the actual popup window? Also, the Webdriver spec includes ways to deal with popups. Have you tried dealing with these using the native features of webdriverIO?

[bbc]

This is the pop up . 

 

I  tried Webdriver io to handle the pop up . But it didn't work me 

[Danp2]

That looks like a standard browser alert, so there should be WebdriverIO functionality to handle it.

Hint: Check out alertAccept and alertDismiss

[bbc]

I tried with those functions i.e alertAccept before . I was unable to handle the pop up with any of the WebdriverIo native features .

Maybe you were using them incorrectly? <shrug> No way to know because you haven't shown us any code.

Have you asked for help on their gitter channel?

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use the AutoIt General Help and Support or AutoIt Technical Discussion forums.

If you cannot find a solution with WebDriverIO functions, maybe you could use this :

expandcollapse popup

#include <APISysConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

Opt('TrayAutoPause', 0)

HotKeySet ("{ESC}", _Exit)
OnAutoItExitRegister('OnAutoItExit')

Global $hForm = GUICreate('')
Global $iMsgCreated = _WinAPI_RegisterWindowMessage('SHELLHOOK')
GUIRegisterMsg($iMsgCreated, 'WM_SHELLHOOK')
_WinAPI_RegisterShellHookWindow($hForm)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

; possible messages : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-registershellhookwindow

Func WM_SHELLHOOK($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
  If $wParam <> $HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED Then Return
  Local $sTitle = WinGetTitle($lParam)
  Local $sClass = _WinAPI_GetClassName ($lParam)
  Switch $sClass
    Case "Chrome_WidgetWin_1"
      ; do something here
    Case "Another_Class_Goes_Here"
      ; do some other things
  EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>WM_SHELLHOOK

Func OnAutoItExit()
    _WinAPI_DeregisterShellHookWindow($hForm)
EndFunc   ;==>OnAutoItExit

Func _Exit ()
  Exit
EndFunc

All you need to do is Run this script from the main script, and it will intercept any window created.  Simply modify the switch statement.
