I am currently dealing with a website that features pop-up tables triggered by user interaction. These pop-ups contain important data, but occasionally a technical issue arises where the top of the pop-up window is positioned off-screen, making it challenging to access the close button.
Most of the time, this is not an issue as the close button can be easily accessed. However, in rare cases, when the negative 'y' pixel location occurs, manual intervention is required to reposition the pop-up within the visible screen area.
Although I have been able to manually resolve this issue by resizing the browser window, automating this process using Selenium commands has proven to be challenging. The MoveToElement command sometimes works, but its success rate is inconsistent.
It seems that Selenium does not support interactions with elements that have negative x or y pixel locations. As a result, I am seeking advice on how to handle and address this specific issue programmatically.
//italics for emphasis
//_Begin code snippet_
var actions = new Actions(Session.Driver);
actions.MoveToElement(table); //this step is crucial to ensure the close button is in view
var closeButton = Session.Driver.FindElement(By.Id(id))
.FindElements(By.CssSelector("a.cmg_close_button"))
.FirstOrDefault();
if (closeButton != null)
{
Wait.Until(d => closeButton.Displayed);
if (closeButton.Location.Y < 0 || closeButton.Location.X < 0)
{
Log.Error("Could not close button. The popup displayed the close_button off-screen giving it a negative x or y pixel location.");
}
else
{
closeButton.Click();
}
}
//_End code snippet_
If anyone has suggestions or strategies to effectively manage the negative x,y pixel location issue with pop-up windows using Selenium in a C# 4.6 environment, I would greatly appreciate your insights. My current setup includes Selenium 2.45, ChromeDriver (Chrome), and VS2015 CE IDE.
