Hello David,

Getting to the contents of an IFrame is pretty easy once you know the secret. Just use code like this:

// Get at the frame by name

Browser myFrame = ActiveBrowser.Frames["myFrameName"];

// Get at the frame by index number

Browser myFrame = ActiveBrowser.Frames[0];

HtmlButton myButton = myFrame.Find.ById<HtmlButton>("myButtonID");

myButton.Click();

Does that answer your question?

Hi Cody,

I am able to access the elements in IFrame but after that I am
unable to access the elements in the active browser:

I am posting the code I have written.

Element newElement = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent("New");

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.Click(newElement);

Browser myFrame = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames["rbe_popupFrame"];

Element ele = myFrame.Find.ByContent("A new Object (with Tab)");

myFrame.Actions.Click(ele);

Element create = myFrame.Find.ByAttributes("value=~Create");

myFrame.Actions.Click(create);



Manager.ActiveBrowser.RefreshDomTree();

Element singularName = Manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByName("singularName");

Manager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.SetText(singularName, "Object1");

Here after clicking on New the IFrame will be open. And able to access the elements in the IFrame. The IFrame will be closed when we click on create. Then after that I want to enter the value in the textbox which is there in the browser. But after closing the IFrame I am getting time out exception.

InnerException:System.TimeoutException: Wait for condition has timed out

Hi David,

Yes sometimes you do need to call RefreshDomTree();. We cache the browsers DOM in memory for performance reasons. There are instances in which the cached copy will get stale and RefreshDomTree updates it for you.

Notice this line from the stack trace:
at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Browser.WaitUntilReady()

What's actually happening is that Test Studio is timing out waiting for the browser to return to the "Ready" state after performing the click. There are a couple of ways to handle this:

1) Increase the ClientReadyTImeout property. This will fix it if the current timeout is simply not long enough. I believe the default value is 30 seconds. Sometimes a click that causes an action on the backend to happen can take longer.

2) If the browser actually never returns to the "Ready" state, use a mouse click instead of the .Click like this:

Manager.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, create.GetRectangle());

I hope this helps.

Hello Sakhti,

Thank you for your input.

Now the problem here is its throwing error in SetText method saying the element passed is null.

Pages.Https1013129.Description2217InputCmpIframeElIFrame.Click(false);
Pages.Https1013129.Description2217InputCmpIframeElIFrame.Refresh();
Browser IFrame=Manager.ActiveBrowser.Frames.ById("description-2217-inputCmp-iframeEl");
if(IFrame==null)
{
Log.WriteLine("frame is null");
}

Element recObj = IFrame.Find.ByExpression("TagIndex=html:0");
Element recObj2 = IFrame.Find.ByXPath("/html/body");
logValue(recObj);
logValue(recObj2);
if(recObj2!= null)
{
Manager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.SetText(recObj, "Hello");
}

When I checked in the DOM during runtime, I could see the html and body tag . Please let me know , what could be the issue for this null object then.

Thanks in advance

Renjila
