Enable and Disable Pop-Ups
Enable or disable pop-ups in your Selenium tests across different browsers
Enable pop-ups
You can enable pop-ups in Chrome, IE and Safari as follows:
Pop-ups are enabled by default (as the pop-up blocker is disabled, by default).
To enable the popups in IE, use the browserstack.ie.enablePopups capability.
caps.setCapability("browserstack.ie.enablePopups", "true");
caps["browserstack.ie.enablePopups"] = "true"
desiredCap.SetCapability("browserstack.ie.enablePopups", "true");
caps["browserstack.ie.enablePopups"] = "true"
var capabilities = {
"browserstack.ie.enablePopups" : "true"
}
$caps["browserstack.ie.enablePopups"] = "true";
$caps->{"browserstack.ie.enablePopups"} = "true";
To enable the popups in Safari, use the browserstack.safari.enablePopups capability.
caps.setCapability("browserstack.safari.enablePopups", "true");
caps["browserstack.safari.enablePopups"] = "true"
desiredCap.SetCapability("browserstack.safari.enablePopups", "true");
caps["browserstack.safari.enablePopups"] = "true"
var capabilities = {
"browserstack.safari.enablePopups" : "true"
}
$caps["browserstack.safari.enablePopups"] = "true";
$caps->{"browserstack.safari.enablePopups"} = "true";
Disable pop-ups
- For all browsers except Chrome, the pop-ups are disabled by default.
- If you have enabled them using the steps in the previous section, remove the code that disables the pop-up blocker to disable popups
Disable pop-ups in Chrome
For Chrome, pop-ups are enabled by default i.e. the pop-up blocker is disabled by default. To enable the pop-up blocker i.e. to block pop-ups, pass disable-popup-blocking argument under the excludeSwitches of a chromeOptions capability, as shown below:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches",Arrays.asList("disable-popup-blocking"));
caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome
caps["chromeOptions"] = {}
caps["chromeOptions"]["excludeSwitches"] = ["disable-popup-blocking"]
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddExcludedArgument("disable-popup-blocking");
desired_cap = {
'browser': 'chrome',
'browser_version': 'latest',
'os': 'Windows',
'os_version': '10',
'build': 'Python Sample Build',
'name': 'Pop-ups testing'
}
desired_cap["chromeOptions"] = {}
desired_cap["chromeOptions"]["excludeSwitches"] = ["disable-popup-blocking"]
driver = webdriver.Remote(
command_executor='https://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub',
desired_capabilities=desired_cap
)
# Rest of the code goes here
var capabilities = {
"browserName" : "chrome",
"chromeOptions" : {
"excludeSwitches" : ["disable-popup-blocking"]
}
}
$chromeoptions = array("excludeSwitches"=>array("disable-popup-blocking"));
$caps = array("platform"=>"WINDOWS", "browserName"=>"chrome", "chromeOptions"=>$chromeoptions);
$caps->{"chromeOptions"} = { "excludeSwitches" => ("disable-popup-blocking") };
