Glad to know that helped. Now you are at the point I am at. There
are several of us working to see if we can resolve the problem. It
appears that the same Ruby / Watir combination works for some people
and does not work for others as far as handling the javascript
popups. Because of this, we think there is some system setting that
makes the difference rather than it being strictly a Ruby and Watir
problem. If you have any insights on this, please share them.
I will try to answer some of your questions. First the normal "click"
that brings up the javascript popup is blocking. The script cannot
proceed until the popup is dismissed. If the code to dismiss the
popup is in the same thread, it stays that way forever (well you know
what I mean). The "click_no_wait" is non blocking, which allows your
script to continue with the routine to dismiss the popup.
So, the short answer is that just "click" won't work for something
that brings up a popup (I'll add the qualification that it does work
if you create a separate thread to click the popup. I only mention
this because there some examples floating around that do that. I do
not want to lead you too far astray if you find one.) So the
preferred method of clicking something that brings up a popup is
"click_no_wait". Unfortunately, what I am seeing is that the button
flashes but no popup ever comes up and the routine to click it times
out. I have had a little success with "click!". click! is also not
blocking. That works one time for me but not the second time in the
same script.
I think the confusion about the page and page container has to do with
confusion over the term "page". The cucumber "page" is not the same
exactly the same as the Watir "page". Beyond that, I cannot offer
much information. Just be aware that although people use the same
"name" for things in different programs, they might not mean the same
thing.
Try the click! on the button that brings up the popup and see if
that works for you (since it sounds like the click_no_wait doesn't
work for you) and let us know your results. If you figure anything
out about system settings that might affect this, let us know. If I
find out anything else for you, I'll post it here.
