Re^2: Handling Save Dialog Box

[monkster]

This is a sample code of what I am attempting.

me::HiRes qw(sleep);
use Test::WWW::Selenium;
use Test::More "no_plan";
use Test::Exception;

my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost", 
                                    port => 4444, 
                                    browser => "*chrome", 
                                    browser_url => "http://download.co
+m/" );

$sel->open_ok("/2000-2001_4-0.html");
$sel->click_ok("link=AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");
$sel->click_ok("link=Download Now");
$sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("30000");

After I click 'Download Now', a dialog box pops-up asking me the location where I need to save the file (.exe in the above example). Could you please tell me if I can give the location also through script itself so as to eliminate user interaction..

Why not check http://selenium-rc.openqa.org/?

See I can't interact with a popup dialog. My test stops in its tracks!

You can, but only if the dialog is an alert or confirmation dialog. Other special dialogs can't be dismissed by javascript, and thus currently cannot be interacted with. These include the "Save File", "Remember this Password" (Firefox), and modal (IE) dialogs. When they appear, Selenium can only wring its hands in despair.

If you can't talk to the dialog box using normal methods, you might be able to send a list of keypress events to the application to set the filename and press the OK button. ...just a thought...
