[QUESTION] Apache Wicket 6.X modal window with Selenium web driver 2.41

[andrea patricelli]

Hi all,

I'm running integration tests with Selenium 2.41 over a web application 
whose interface is developed with Apache Wicket 6.14.0, and I created an 
instance of Selenium Firefox web driver this way:

protected WebDriver seleniumDriver = new FirefoxDriver();

||

I've a page creating a Wicket ModalWindow; by clicking a button it shows 
modal window page to edit or create something.
This Modal window is very simple: has two input text fields and a Save 
button.

With Selenium I'm trying to type something into these text fields but 
I'm only able to access modal window so:

seleniumDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Create new 
configuration')]")).click();

||

then selenium web driver control stucks on main page, so (following some 
examples and Selenium documentation) I wrote this code to "switch" 
control on modal window:

//Store the current window handle
            String parentWindow = seleniumDriver.getWindowHandle();

    //   switch to configuration modal window
    for (String winHandle : seleniumDriver.getWindowHandles()) {
                    seleniumDriver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
                }

                WebDriverWait webDriverWaitHalfMinModal = new 
WebDriverWait(seleniumDriver, 10L);

webDriverWaitHalfMinModal.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.
                        xpath("//input[@name='key:textField']")));

                // do something in modal window

                //Close the new window, if that window no more required
                seleniumDriver.close();
               //Switch back to original browser (parent window)
                seleniumDriver.switchTo().window(parentWindow);

||||

But there is no way to make it work, in fact list of window handles has 
only 1 element, the main page, and not two elements (main and modal 
page) and there is no way to find text field in the modal window opened 
with button press. I point out that the rest of my code is working, I'm 
not able to work only with modal windows.
My question are:
1) How can I manage properly APACHE WICKET 6 modal windows with Selenium 
[2.41]?
2) Is there a particularity of Apache Wicket Modal Window that causes 
this Selenium blindness against it?

I know that this is more a Selenium issue than an Apache Wicket one, but 
I think that is useful let you know about this (apparently) annoying 
problem.

Best Regards,

Andrea
