Part of the functionality of my intranet application is that a user needs to see some XML which has been generated. A new browser tab is opened, and the WebAPI controller streams XML.
This works fine, problem is when the user clicks on "Save As...", nothing happens.
If I place a static xml file on the server, browse to it and click "Save As..." then this works fine; so I don't see this as being caused by a group policy or desktop build error. This also works fine in a proper web browser.
The code to return the xml...
return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Content = new StringContent(fpml, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml"),
};
If you trick IE into thinking that it has a file, rather than dynamic content, then the "Save As..." feature will work as expected.
This can be done by simply adding a filename into the URL, i.e.
Instead of
http://myhost/myapp/api/getFpmlApi/?TradeId=234234
use
http://myhost/myapp/api/getFpmlApi/Fpml.xml?TradeId=234234

I want to test a file download. It is made programmatically on click a button that uses this function:
export function downloadURI(uri, target) {
const link = document.createElement('a')
if (target) link.target = target
link.href = uri
link.click()
}
The problem is that when you do cy.click() on that button the new tab is opened and the tests fail. I am checking that the download is successful by asserting the loading modal is visible after clicking the button (while the file is being generated via an HTTP request) and is Not visible after the download was generated.
How can I prevent this tab from opening so that the tests do not fail?
This works for me:
cy.get('a').invoke('removeAttr', 'target').click()
From the official document it says that cypress does not support multiple tabs testing.
Also there is a recipe including 3 solutions about how to handle this.
Have a read and see if it can help.
I have a webview inside my application and when an external link is clicked (that in normal browser is open in a new tab), I can't then go back to my website.
It is possible when a new tab is open to have the menu closed that tab like Gmail do ?
The objective is that, whenever a link is clicked, the user would have the choice to choose which option to view the content with, e.g. Clicking a link would suggest open youtube app or google chrome. The purpose is to appear the google chrome option
Or what suggestions do you have to handle this situation ?
If I understood you correctly, you want to have the option to select how to open the web link - inside your app, or within another app's (browser) context.
If this is correct, then you can use Xamarin.Essentials: Browser functionality.
public async Task OpenBrowser(Uri uri)
{
await Browser.OpenAsync(uri, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred);
}
Here the important property is the BrowserLaunchMode flag, which you can learn more about here
Basically, you have 2 options - External & SystemPreferred.
The first one is clear, I think - it will open the link in an external browser.
The second options takes advantage of Android's Chrome Custom Tabs & for iOS - SFSafariViewController
P.S. You can also customise the PreferredToolbarColor, TitleMode, etc.
Edit: Based from your feedback in the comments, you want to control how to open href links from your website.
If I understood correctly, you want the first time that you open your site, to not have the nav bar at the top, and after that to have it. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
You can have the opposite behaviour achieved - the first time that you open a website, to have the nav bar and if the user clicks on any link, to open it externally (inside a browser). You have 2 options for this:
To do it from your website - change the a tag's target to be _blank like this;
To do it from your mobile app - create a Custom renderer for the WebView. In the Android project's renderer implementation, change the Control's WebViewClient like so:
public class CustomWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(Android.Webkit.WebView view, IWebResourceRequest request)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, request.Url);
CrossCurrentActivity.Current.StartActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}
on my web application, after clicking a download button, a popup message with content "Do you want to open or save "abc.txt" from this site?" with 3 buttons ("Open", "Save" & "Cancel") will be displayed at the bottom of page.
I'm trying to close/quit this browser session with below codes:
#driver.execute_script "window.onbeforeunload = function(e){};"
#driver.quit
However, the browser is NOT (but should be) closed. I'm working with Selenium Ruby Webdriver. Please guide me a way to resolve this problem. Thanks so much.
Note that with the above codes, I'm able to close IE9 browser that has the popup message "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered many not be saved" with "Leave Page" and "Stay on Page" buttons successfully. But, codes do NOT work in case the popup message with content "Do you want to open or save "abc.txt" from this site?" with 3 buttons ("Open", "Save" & "Cancel") displayed.
WebDriver has no control over these types of "Save file" dialog prompts.
Please peruse this article on this subject (note, his examples are in Java, but they can all be ported easily and with less code in Ruby). http://ardesco.lazerycode.com/index.php/2012/07/how-to-download-files-with-selenium-and-why-you-shouldnt/
Thus, I would recommend not even clicking the link in question and trying to deal with the dialog. Instead, grab the href value and initiate a Net::HTTP request to it like this SO response shows you how to do: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4581116/1221475 . You can then check the file for correct contents and such using standard Ruby and file parsers.
This is a hack by Dave Haefner. It is written for Java/Selenium combination, but you can easily convert it to Ruby syntax.
If you don't care if a file was downloaded or not and you want to confirm only that a file can be downloaded, you can use an HTTP request. Instead of downloading the file you'll receive the header information for the file which contains things like the content type and length. With this information, you can confirm the file is you expect.
String link = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("download-link-element")).getAttribute("href");
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpHead request = new HttpHead(link);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
String contentType = response.getFirstHeader("Content-Type").getValue();
int contentLength = Integer.parseInt(response.getFirstHeader("Content-Length").getValue());
assertThat(contentType, is("application/octet-stream"));
assertThat(contentLength, is(not(0)));
I have a big problem with Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
SITUATION:
I have a FORM that build a Medical Prescription. When I hit the save button, the script saves the DomainObject on DB and set a boolean property (of panel where the form is added) called "saved" to true and a byte[] property called PDF with bytestream.
On RenderHead of Panel, I read this boolean and, if is true, I force the trigger of a hidden button with this code:
String js = "$('#" + printPDF.getMarkupId() + "').click();";
response.renderOnDomReadyJavaScript(js);
The button executes this code:
ResourceStreamRequestHandler handler = new ResourceStreamRequestHandler(new ByteArrayResourceStream(pdf, "application/pdf"));
handler.setFileName("foo.pdf");
RequestCycle.get().scheduleRequestHandlerAfterCurrent(handler);
This code work perfecly on FF and Chrome. The Browser download windows appears and the user can save the PDF on HD.
Unfortunally, Internet Explorer has that damn security behavior that is triggered when a site require something to download. That warning require a user validation. A yellow Bar appear and the user is force to hit "Download".

When I hit Download File, the form is submitted again with the exact state I had when I hit save the first time. So no previous INSERT on DB is already committed; The Session is resetted to the previous state etc...
The result is a double INSERT on DB of the Domain Ojbect.
Any clue to resolve this?
The problem is that you click download link programaticly instead to redirect browser to an URL or open an URL by JS window.open(url). Click a link looks like an unwanted operation that is sometimes restricted by browser.
I'd like to extend my WatiN automated tests to drive a page that guards against the user accidentally leaving the page without saving changes.
The page uses the "beforeunload" technique to seek confirmation from the user:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function (event) {
if (confirmationRequired) {
return "Sure??";
}
});
My WatIn test is driving the page using IE. I cannot find a way to get WatIn to attach to the popup dialog so I can control it from my test.
All the following have failed (where the hard-coded strings refer to strings that I can see on the popup):
Browser.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer");
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Are you sure you want to leave this page?));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindFirst());
Thanks!
You'll need to create and add the dialog handler.
Example Go to example site, click link, click leave page on confirmation dialog:
IE browser = new IE();
browser.GoTo("http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/onbeforeunload.htm");
WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9 myHandler = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9();
browser.AddDialogHandler(myHandler);
browser.Link(Find.ByUrl("http://www.microsoft.com")).ClickNoWait();
myHandler.WaitUntilExists();
myHandler.OKButton.Click();
browser.RemoveDialogHandler(myHandler);
The above is working on WatiN2.1, IE9, Win7. If using IE8 or before, you will likely need to use the ReturnDialogHandler object instead of the Ie9 specific handler
