How to load primefaces dialog in selenium? - selenium

Question

i am trying to load primefaces dialog inside selenium test as follows:
-the primefaces code:
<p:commandLink id="iam_interested1" styleClass="iam_interested"
oncomplete="signUpDialog.show()"
actionListener="#{leadsBean.initSaveAction()}"
update=":betasignup">
I'm interested
</p:commandLink>
-the generate code for above primefaces code is:
<a id="headerForm:iam_interested1" href="#" class="ui-commandlink ui-widget iam_interested" onclick="PrimeFaces.ab({source:'headerForm:iam_interested1',update:'betasignup',oncomplete:function(xhr,status,args){signUpDialog.show();}});return false;">
I'm interested
</a>
the selenium code:
#Test
public void test() throws InterruptedException {
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/MyApp/index.xhtml");
WebElement dialogLink = driver.findElement(By
.className("iam_interested"));
dialogLink.click();
String currentWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
String popupWindowHandle = getPopupWindowHandle(driver,dialogLink);
driver.switchTo().window(popupWindowHandle);
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 5)).
until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.className("ui-dialog-titlebar-close")));
driver.findElement(By.className("ui-dialog-titlebar-close")).click();
driver.switchTo().window(currentWindowHandle);
}
String getPopupWindowHandle(WebDriver driver, WebElement element) {
String popupHandle = null;
int maxTimeToWait = 5000;
int timeInterval = 1000;
int timeElasped = 0;
int attempt;
// get all the window handles before the popup window appears
Set<String> beforePopup = driver.getWindowHandles();
// click the link which creates the popup window
element.click();
System.out.println("element clicked");
attempt = 1;
while (timeElasped < maxTimeToWait) {
// get all the window handles after the popup window appears
Set<String> afterPopup = driver.getWindowHandles();
// remove all the handles from before the popup window appears
afterPopup.removeAll(beforePopup);
// there should be only one window handle left
if (afterPopup.size() == 1) {
System.out.println("Popup window found");
popupHandle = (String) afterPopup.toArray()[0];
break;
}
try {
Thread.sleep(timeInterval);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
timeElasped = timeInterval * attempt;
attempt++;
}
if (popupHandle.isEmpty() || popupHandle == null) {
System.out.println("No Popup Window found");
}
return popupHandle;
}
but the dialog doesn't load, and instead i get the exception:
org.openqa.selenium.interactions.MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException: Element cannot be scrolled into view:http://localhost:8080/MyApp/betasignup_index.xhtml#

Answer 1

Issue was that the generated <a> component has multiple generated classes beside the declared one, so when i tried to get the link element by id instead, and do normal click, everything works fine:
WebElement dialogLink = driver.findElement(By
.id(dialogLinkId));
dialogLink.click();
