So, I've been struggling with getting IE to consistently work when the
window is not focused and I'm downloading a file. I dream of the day where
this can be handled like Chrome or Firefox. It lead me to think about how
I could use alert for this purpose.
I can get the text from the alert and dismiss it. However I can't seem to
click the save button.
b.alert.text
"Do you want to open or save this file?"
irb(main):027:0> b.alert.ok
=> nil
If I try to send an 's' which is the keyboard shortcut to save the file I
get the below error.
b.alert.set("s")
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisibleError: Modal dialog did not
have a text box - maybe it was an alert
Interestingly enough, on the 'Save as' window I can set the file name and
then send an :enter to save the file where I need it to go.
Anyone gone down this road and found it workable?
