you have to attach that new windows, do the activities and then close that
and come back to your original browser.
in my ruby+watir framework I use the below if any new window opens where i
need to do anything
if attach_url(/<url in reg exp>/) then
enter_text_into_text_field_text("Enter the value in text field", "entry",
"abc")
# do what ever you want to do in this new window
# then close this new window
end
the attach_url and enter_text_into_text_field are called from testbase.rb
def enter_text_into_text_field_text(title, name, value)
startAction title, "type '" + value + "' in '" + name + "' text field"
if no_fatal_error then
begin
$ie.text_field(:name, name).set(value)
logPass
rescue => e
handleFail e
end
end
end
def attach_url(urlName)
startAction "opening new IE instance", urlName.to_s
if no_fatal_error then
begin
new_ie = Watir::IE.attach(:url, urlName)
new_ie.set_fast_speed
@stored_ie = $ie
$ie = new_ie
logPass
return true
rescue => e
@fatal_error="true"
handleFail e
end
end
return false
end
