Pop-up Blocker Utility

Pop-up Blocker Utility

Pop-ups are a common feature in web applications. During test execution, it is often necessary to automatically close certain pop-ups to ensure a smooth test flow. For this purpose, we have implemented a JavaScript-based, in-page Pop-up Blocker.

Purpose and Best Practice

We strongly recommend that any pop-ups within your tested application be deterministic and handled explicitly within your test flows. However, when working with external or black-box applications where you cannot control the pop-up behavior, automatically closing non-critical pop-ups with this feature can help stabilize your tests and reduce execution time.

Configuration

To enable this utility, you must provide the CSS selector of the element that closes the pop-up (e.g., a ‘Close’ button or an ‘X’ icon). Store this selector in your properties file using a custom key:

neodymium.popup.customPopUp=#myWindowCloseButton

The system will then automatically search for this specific element. As soon as the element is found, a click action will be triggered.

The interval in milliseconds at which the system attempts to find and close the pop-up can be configured using the neodymium.popupInterval property.
