Can not access multiple browser windows like selenium can. about poltergeist HOT 11 CLOSED

Cool. Looks like there are some capybara specs for this: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/blob/master/lib/capybara/spec/driver.rb#L191. I don't know if this will be possible without patches to PhantomJS, but we can try. (And submit a patch to PhantomJS if not.)

Hi @jonleighton did this ever see the light of day?

I've been hunting through the poltergeist source and I was hoping that I could manually switch focus between my main window and a popup by using Agent.pushWindow() and Agent.popWindow(), but so far I'm not having much joy.

(Thanks!)

I couldn't figure this out personally

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

No worries, thanks Jon.

I don't suppose you could point me to the right place to call methods
on the browser or agent directly? (From Ruby) I haven't been able to
work out how the ruby driver calls down to the JavaScript classes
(which then drive PhantomJS). Then I might be able to find a
workaround or even patch it myself.

Thanks either way

@iainbeeston json messages are passed via a web socket, and result in method invocations in browser.coffee. sorry, I don't have time to explain further than that :/ tbh I don't think working out this ticket is an entry level task if you are unfamiliar with phantomjs / poltergeist, but don't let me put you off if you have the time.

I see. In that case I'll take a look but I'll bear your warning in
mind when I do. Cheers Jon

FYI, phantomjs seems to be actively working on this:

They merged fix to master ariya/phantomjs#293

@jonleighton just saw this! Thanks a lot! 👍

Are you able to please provide any tips on how to convert my current specs over to use this?

from poltergeist.

@parndt page.within_window works, but you need to know the name of the window. this is not currently exposed - if you'd like that to be added please create a new issue to track it. shouldn't be hard to add.
