2011.1.502 DownloadDialogsHandler broken in IE8

[Alexey Ivanov]

In the latest version download dialog processing seems to be broken even in older browsers :(

Run this piece of code in IE8: 

[TestFixture]

public class Class1

{

 

    [Test]

    public void A() {

        new Manager(false).Start();

 

        var m = Manager.Current;           

        m.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer);

 

        var b = m.ActiveBrowser;

        b.NavigateTo("http://www.invescopowershares.com/products/holdings.aspx?ticker=PQZ");

 

        var h = new DownloadDialogsHandler(b, DialogButton.SAVE, "C:\\PQZHoldings.csv", m.Desktop);

 

        HtmlAnchor a = b.Find.ByExpression<HtmlAnchor>("id=ctl00_MainPageLeft_MainPageContent_ExportHoldings1_LinkButton1", "tagname=a");

        a.Click(false);

        h.WaitUntilHandled(10000);                       

    }

}

File download prompt appears and then closes. In 10 seconds I get a timeout error.
I still have to use the old ArtOfTest 2.0 release...

Seems that it is in some relation with Settings.UnexpectedDialogAction.
But I'm not completely sure.

Hello Alexey,
     I wasn't able to confirm this. I made small adjustments to get it to work in my environment but it's the same code:

ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://www.invescopowershares.com/products/holdings.aspx?ticker=PQZ");

           var h = new DownloadDialogsHandler(ActiveBrowser, DialogButton.SAVE, "C:\\PQZHoldingsxxxxxxxxxxxxx.csv", Manager.Desktop);

           HtmlAnchor a = Find.ByExpression<HtmlAnchor>("id=ctl00_MainPageLeft_MainPageContent_ExportHoldings1_LinkButton1", "tagname=a");
           a.Click(false);
           h.WaitUntilHandled(10000);

I used 1502. First I ran the test against IE9. It passed successfully. The only problem I saw was that the handler ignores the path parameter and uses IE9's default download folder instead. This is already logged and will be fixed in the near future.

Next I downgraded the machine to IE8 and ran the test again. Initially the test failed due to my security settings. In order go get it to work I had to add the page to "Trusted Sites" (see screenshot). I also made sure all possible security settings (pop up blocker etc) were set to allow downloads. Once I did that I was able to successfully handle the Dialog.

I believe that your problem with IE8 is probably related to security settings. Please recheck this.

All the best,

Stoich, which value of the UnexpectedDialogAction option do you use?
If I set it to NotHandle then dialog works, but with the default value they don't.
Is it expected behavior?

[Stoich]

Hello Alexey, 
    I'm glad you mentioned this. Yes, this is in fact expected behavior. UnexpectedDialogAction will immediately handle any dialogs that appear in the page before the actual Dialog which you've set up can handle them. This will then cause your Dialog handler to fail because it can't find a Dialog to handle anymore. So just keep it to NotHandle.

I think that UnexpectedDialogAction is a useful feature to close occasional browser windows.
But, why DownloadDialogHanlder does not disable it temporary? This "expected behavior" is not very intuitive.

Hi Alexey,
    I agree with you. It's actually logged as a bug and you can expect positive changes in that regard in the near future.
