[wtr-general] Re: Manipulate Keystrokes on a MAC
Hi CJ Romberger,
I am running my tests on a MAC and the browser im running them in is
Firefox v3.6.10
Not only that but It will also work on Windows as well.
what you should try is...
Im assuming in your test there is a step where you are clicking a
button and then after clicking on a particular button the Javascript
popup appears
If you put the line:
@browser.execute_script('window.alert = function () {};')
BEFORE the step where you are clicking the button then what you are
actually doing is disabling the javascript alert function just before
it will be called...
Therefore you can run the rest of you test without the interruption of
the Javascript popup.
The same or similar logic can also be used for Javascript Confirm and
Prompt boxes. In my test i have similar code for Confirm boxes where
when the javascript confirm box appears it is always making it true
therefore always confirming what it was prompting you to do.
Hope this helps... it took me an age to figure out a solution...
Kind regards,
Usman Hussain
