Improvements

[jefleponot]

I have few requests for application development.

1. The command "switchToWindow" don't work because of links text. Links haven't any target attribute. Could you please add like "switchToFrame -> switchToFrameByIndex" an index method called "switchToWindowByIndex" (or/and a "switchToWindowByTitle")?
2. the serie of "byPass" commands is missing. Could you decline it like verify/assert/wait series?
3. Have you planned to add digest or basic authentification popup command ? I manage this trouble using cookies commands but it is not very user-friendly for tests beginner.
4. "acceptDownload and dismissDownload" comands could be usefull too.
5. json data parameters file doesn't work . But it's a good idea :-)

• switchToWindowByIndex/switchToWindowByTitle Sure, will have to check these are supported.
• byPass: Can you describe what these would do?
• digest/basic auth: Good point, again need to check what the webdriver support is.
• acceptDownload/dismissDownload: Same
• JSON data parameters file: Could you describe in what way it doesn't work? It does work on my machine... :)

Thanks for your reply.
Here is more explanations

1. When a new popup window is created without any name, it's impossible to use it with the switchToWindow command. AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SWITCH BACK TO PARENT WINDOW

My method for overcoming a problem, I use some "storeEval" commands to force target link
like :
{
"type": "storeEval",
"script": "document.querySelector('form').setAttribute('target','newWindow');return 1;",
"variable": "a"
},
{
"type": "storeEval",
"script": "window.name = 'parentWindow';return 1;",
"variable": "a"
},
But it is not userfriendly :-(
So we need another(s) command(s) like switchToNewWindow / switchToParentWindo / switchToWindowByTilte / switchToWindowByUrl .

it seems to be support with the wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser") function refactoring your nsCommandProcessor.searchWindows slot.

for webdriver : driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.Last());

1. When you open a web site and the site is not fully functional but works, the browsing could be different.
   So we need a byPass command with nb_step in parameters to use another way.
   Trigger of bypassing could be the same as verify/assert/wait series.
2. json data parameters file doesn't work . no file json is loaded.
3. Have you plan to add Visibility tests command ? window.getComputedStyle(elem, null);
   var hidden = style.visibility === 'hidden' || style.display === 'none'; It strange to click on an unvisible div.
4. linkText selector are really usefull .
5. Does it only work on "A" Tag ? or also on "Button" Tag ?
6. Why it doesn't work when there is another tag inner a "A" tag ? (example : <a><span>hello</span></a>)
7. Somethimes we need to define the position when you find more than one link : could it be possible to specify first/last/... position by transformation in xpath selector for example:
   "//a[normalize-space(string())=="Hello"][last()]"

Hi,

Is there any update on "switchToWindowByIndex".
In my scenario both the windows having same name, So I can't use the "switchToWindow(name)"
When I try to use "switchToWindowByIndex" Its showing
Unable to Locate Window "Undefined"
switchToWindowByIndex command is exist in my Selenium sauce code, But still its not working

Guide me for this Issue
