In RSpec i can use such code switch to popup window, link, How can i do such thing in Cucumber steps?
login_window = page.driver.find_window('PPA_identity_window')
main_window = page.driver.find_window('')
# We use this to execute the next instructions in the popup window
page.within_window(login_window) do
#Normally fill in the form and log in
fill_in 'email', :with => "<your paypal sandbox username>"
fill_in 'password', :with => "<your paypal sandbox password>"
click_button 'Log In'
end
I don't think there is a cucumber/capybara way to do this as such.
But you can still change the window using selenium driver commands like this:
#Get the main window handle
main = page.driver.browser.window_handles.first
#Get the popup window handle
popup = page.driver.browser.window_handles.last
#Then switch control between the windows
page.driver.browser.switch_to.window(popup)
EDIT:
Andrews answer below is the correct answer now since new DSL changes were implemented.
You can use Capybara in your Cucumber steps to interact with popup windows:
login_window = window_opened_by do
click_button 'Open Login Window'
end
within_window(login_window) do
fill_in :email, with: "email@example.com"
fill_in :password, with: "password"
click_button 'Log In'
end
In a simple way we can do so, without within_window and without selenium natives.
page.switch_to_window page.windows.first
page.switch_to_window page.windows.last
or
page.switch_to_window page.windows[0]
page.switch_to_window page.windows[-1]
0 - is the first window
-1 - is the last window
windows function return an array of all windows.
Another way, using the title of page.
page.switch_to_window { title == 'Google' }
