Accessing popup windows

[mmrobins]

A fairly common practice in authentication of Twitter apps via OAuth is to redirect to the authorize endpoint in a popup window. I'm not able to use Selenium to fully test because it doesn't handle redirects (AFAIK), but mechanize doesn't handle popup windows

main, popup = page.driver.browser.window_handles
within_window(popup) do
  # fill in login info here and click authorize 
end

Any suggestions on how to handle this or if it would be possible to add window handling to capybara-mechanize? Thanks.

I believe this has been fixed since the 1.0 release.

[phillbaker]

No kidding? @ryansch thanks for helping to clear out the backlog. I'll try to add a test for this.

Does it work?

page.driver.browser.window_handles (version 1.4.0)

undefined method 'window_handles ' for #Capybara::Mechanize::Browser

[ryansch]

It worked as of the 1.1.0 release with capybara 2.1.0. Sounds like we might have a regression.

[brunobrgs]

I will try like you said, thanks

[brunobrgs]

@ryansch For this, the method window_handles should be here, on 1.1.0.

https://github.com/jeroenvandijk/capybara-mechanize/blob/v1.1.0/lib/capybara/mechanize/browser.rb

or not?

[ryansch]

Not there. Notice how the class inherits from Capybara::RackTest::Browser? That should lead you to it.

[ryansch]

I'm assuming this broke due to changes in Capybara.

[brunobrgs]

I'm saying this, because when i use capybara-webkit, it works.

At master there, the method exist: https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/blob/c1b501ca525532d261ded8d3c0c6408716a1f8ef/lib/capybara/webkit/browser.rb#L129

[ryansch]

Right they wrote their own browser. Capybara-mechanize is a special kind of racktest driver.

I'm interested in that deprecation warning. I'm fairly certain that's the real cause of this issue. What version of capybara are you running?

[brunobrgs]

With webkit: gem 'capybara', '2.1.0' gem 'capybara-webkit', '1.0.0'

With mechanize i tried, but didn't work: gem 'capybara', '2.1.0' gem 'capybara-mechanize', '1.1.0'

[ryansch]

Something strange is going on then. We're using the second stanza in our app right now and we make pretty heavy use of page.driver.browser.window_handles.

[brunobrgs]

I will try again, will check it outside my app, maybe it is a something else, then i come back here. Thank you.
