I am writing automation for an app that uses lots of popups. Each of these poups are launched via javascript window.open(). However, I can not seem to hook them (using HtmlPage popup = parent.GetPopupPage(1))

any idea how to work around this?

Thanks.

I found the problem. Just an FYI if anyone else comes across this issue:

The app I am testing starts at a launchpage that automatically launches the webapp into a popup (to remove all toolbars, buttons and address bars) on the onload of the body tag. If I close this popup and use the framework to relaunch the app I can successfully hook the popup. So it seems all popups have to be triggered by the test framework.

Yes, LTAF needs to hook into the window.open of the test page, and this happens whenever a command is received by the driver frame. If you navigate to a page that automatically popups a new page, LTAF doesn't get a chance to capture it.

BTW, there is a known issue in the current version that if a test fails while automating a popup window, the DOM that is reported in the error page is from the main window instead. We are looking at addressing that in the next release.
