I am automating an web application through selenium, in that application on click of Search button a web page dialog box appears.
This dialog box is not identified by developer tool, developer tools still identifies parent window.
Driver.getwindowhandles is returning count of 1, which looks like the dialogbox is not a child window.
Tried Alert, frames, iframes but none them has identifed this dialog box.
Also this popup is not a window pop up.
Can someone please suggest how to handle this kind of webpage dialog box.
This is a nightly job, so i cannot use Robot class , AutoIT or sikuli because these require an active window session.

Ensure that your window selector is updated once you move on to the next page. I have seen in almost every single automation I have created, the Login page has a different window title than the actual web app screens after login.
With the Modern Design Experience in UiPath, the Window selector is a little hidden from the rest of the selector, so make sure you open the Window Selector dropdown in the Selector Window (or modify the Window Selector property in the properties pane) to modify that when advancing from the Login screen to the main app screen.
used dialog tag in xul for a dialog box for an xul application.Earlier before firefox update the tool had maximize and minimize buttons but after update the buttons are no longer there in the tool.
MDN Docs: Window.openDialog, Window.open, <window>, <dialog>, <dialogheader>, Dialogs and Prompts
Without all of: The Firefox version from which you were upgrading, the version you upgraded to, the code you are using to open the window, and the XUL used to describe the window it is difficult to provide you with an answer which actually covers what you want to know.
MDN has the following to say on dialog windows: "Dialog windows are windows which have no minimize system command icon and no maximize/restore down system command icon on the titlebar nor in correspondent menu item in the command system menu. They are said to be dialog because their normal, usual purpose is to only notify info and to be dismissed, closed. On Mac systems, dialog windows have a different window border and they may get turned into a sheet."
That makes is clear that dialog windows do not normally have the controls you are asking about.
However, you can pass minimizable in the features parameter of the window.open() or window.openDialog() functions to turn on minimize control.
In general, if you want a dialog to have minimize and maximize buttons, you have to open it as a normal window with window.open(). You can limit the other toolbars that it has at the top by supplying appropriate parameters in the window.open() call. You can also make it modal, like some dialogs. You then create your own OK and Cancel buttons with appropriate code to accept the information in the dialog or cancel. Basically, if you want a maximized window for a dialog it should usually be doing quite a bit. In such case, you probably want more control over how your window looks than is available from a dialog window. Dialogs are, generally, subset of what windows can do with the ability to have a few buttons easily provided.
I am testing a chat client at a web service. I thought the best way to do this was to open the website in one internet explorer window, log in, open the chat. Then open a new IE window(in private mode so that the log in details will be forgotten) go the the page and then log in with another user and open the chat, and then start chatting with the other user in the other browser window.
The problem is when I have done everything in the first window and I open a new window, all actions are triggered in the first window even though the second window is selected. Is there any way to select which browser window to use? Or are there better ways to test this functionality without opening two internet explorer windows?
Solved: I solved this by opening a new window in private mode. When I wanted to do actions in that window I defined the browser window as:
BrowserWindow privateWindow = new BrowserWindow();
privateWindow.SearchProperties.Contains("[InPrivate]");
You need to find some characteristic of the two IE windows that is different and ensure that it is included in the search criteria used to find the two windows. However modern browsers are complex, the distinction between windows and tabs it not always clear; window titles can change depending on which tab is selected.
Specific windows are selected by setting the properties of the UITestControl objects (and of derived objects). In the UI Map editor the properties panel has fields for the "Windows Title" and the "Search Criteria". For some controls there is also a "Filter Properties" field. The same fields are available if hand coding rather than recording tests.
I've got Firebug open on my website, and then I click a button which opens a popup window. However, Firebug is always greyed out by default in the popup window. I can click the icon or press F12 to start it, but I really need it to start itself, immediately, because I want to watch the AJAX requests that happen on page initialization of the popup window. By the time I click or press F12 it's already too late; it's missed those requests.
How do I get Firebug to persist in my popup window?
There is an option in the Firebug menu called On For All Web Pages, which opens Firebug automatically. Though unfortunately that also doesn't allow you to track the network requests.
So this actually looks like a bug to me. You should report that in the Firebug issue tracker, so it can be fixed.
Is there a way to programmatically instruct IE8 to open a popup in a new window rather than a new tab? I know that IE supports modal windows but I have a bunch of legacy code with ordinary popups.
Update:
I am using Javascript's window.open() method to create popup windows. However, when a user has their IE8 settings set to "Always open popups in a new tab", the popup is launched in a new tab rather than a new window.
Using html, the best you can do is set open page target to blank. Everything else is controlled by the client side and they can choose to open it in a new window or tab.
However, you can use javascript to open the window. Create Link to open in new window here
Since no one else is chiming in... After doing further research, it seems that you cannot force a pop-up to open into a new window when an IE8 user has the following browser setting enabled: Tools>>Internet Options>>Tabs>>When a pop-up is encountered:>>Always open pop-ups in a new tab.
Since I am in an Intranet environment, I have the option of locking down a users IE settings to either "Let Internet Explorer decide how pop-ups should open" or "Always open pop-ups in a new window".
I don't really care to exercise the above option so in order to get the desired user experience, I will resort to making one of the following code changes:
Convert existing pop-ups to IE specific Modal Dialogs using the showModalDialog() method.
Convert existing pop-ups to Javascript Modal Dialogs using jqModal or some other jQuery plug-in.
If you opt to let Internet Explorer decide how to display pop-ups, it
will display the pop-up in a new window if the pop-up specifies size
or display requirements. Otherwise, the pop-up is displayed in a new
tab.

So if you don't set any specific window requirements and it should open in a new tab, unless a user has changed these settings.
