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, a JavaScript-based, in-page Pop-up Blocker has been implemented.

Purpose and Best Practice

It is strongly recommended that any pop-ups within the tested application be deterministic and handled explicitly within the test flows. However, when working with external or black-box applications where pop-up behavior cannot be controlled, automatically closing non-critical pop-ups with this feature can help stabilize 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.
