[Noob] Python help needed...

[mickyemza]

Hi All...

I am testing a Web application (on Windows XP/MSIE) with PAMIE and the web application uses popups (not actual web popup, but rather an annnoying modal messagebox). As soon as the message box appears, the script freezes. It simply does not advance to the next command until I manually click "OK" on the message box.

The script I am using now (tried a lot of things...):

from PAM30 import PAMIE
import time
import win32gui
import win32com

print ('--- STARTING TEST RUN AT ' + time.ctime() + ' ---')

ie = PAMIE()
ie.Visible = 1
ie.navigate ('http://localwebserver/myAPP/myAPP.html')
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")

ie.setTextBox('username', 'user')
ie.setTextBox('password', 'password')
ie.clickButton('Login')

ie.clickButton('myAction') #This shows the pop-up after a few seconds

time.sleep (5)

print ("About to send spaces: "+ time.ctime())
shell.SendKeys (" ")
print ("Sent shell spaces: "+ time.ctime())

time.sleep (3)
ie.quit()

(The SendKeys is an attempt to simulate a keyboard pressing the "OK" button on the messagebox)

Can anyone help me with an idea? Any input on how to proceed with the script and to get rid of the messagebox after it pops (it canot be eliminated from the app, however - I have to deal with it somehow)

Thanks

Micky
