Hello,
I'm trying to use TestComplete to test a Chrome extension that is currently in development. When I click on the icon it will display a popup like so:
As far as I know there is no way to reliably target and click the icon. Please let me know if there is.
Since the popup is actually another webpage (this is just how chrome extensions work) I tried to work around this by opening it by itself. You can do this by opening a url like chrome-extension://<extention-unique-id>/popup.html
So now I have a web page like this:
But for some reason, I cannot find the 'Take Screenshot' button in TestComplete.
It finds the page but it does not have any children
Here is the HTML for the page:
<html>
<head>
<style>
button {
white-space: nowrap;
outline: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<button id="takeScreenshot">Take Screenshot</button>
<script src="popup.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Does anyone have any ideas/experiance testing chrome extensions? I came up with this method from this selenium post so I know it's possible
Thanks!
I tried FindChildByXPath but no luck...
I'm noticed that the SmartBear extension doesn't inject the hidden nodes that it normally does in other pages.
When I right click on the extension while my chrome extension page is open I see:
I think this is a chrome limitation. It doesn't allow us to inject into it's internal pages.
For security considerations Chrome refuses all extensions to inject code into its internal pages (about:*, chrome:*). Because of that, internal pages, like the new tab page, the extension manager, the download manager, the history page and so on, are not accessible to TestComplete.

I may need to switch to selenium for this one... It doesn't have this limitation.
