navigating to pop up web page tab
i have just started working with a browser based application in testcomplete and I have encountered a situation where i'm clicking a print button on one page (tab) that generates a new browser tab. The URL of the new tab is "blob:https://<application url>/<guid>" and I need to click on a download button in the upper right corner of this page but the testcomplete "red box" does not surround the download button. instead it is around the entire page. in the object browser I can drill down and find the item shown here which contains the download icon
but when I try to insert a click event in my recording (using x,y coordinates on the image above) it clicks on those coordinates but on the original web page (where I did the click on the print button). how do i get test complete to navigate to the new tab (with a GUID as part of its URL) so that the click happens where it is supposed to?
ok. i have come up with a solution. not sure if it is the best method but, at least it appears to work. i replace this:
Browsers.Item(btChrome).Navigate(page.URL);
with this:
page.ToURL;
and that resolved the "file couldn't be accessed" issue. then i had to map the entire blob file page (cause it doesn't have anything defined beneath it) and through trial and error I found the proper x,y coordinates that performed the click action in the correct place.
that allowed the mapping of individual objects above the yellow line in the image shown here but it didn't open up anything below the line (which is where the download button is located).
i think i might be able to approach it from a different angle. if i change the chrome setting for PDFs to this (instead of "open pdf in chrome") then i can just find the pdf in my downloads folder and use it from there. I'll just have to rename it. Thanks for trying though.
