Selenium - click a link/button in javascript popup

I am using selenium to test a webapp, for which most of the selenium test cases are already written. I have no idea how it works, I just build开发者_开发问答 the project and go to link provided in the browser and run the test start running and yes all the test are manually written not generated.

I am using ruby, and doing something like this for clicking a link/button in a javascript popup :

def methodName()
    clickAndWait("<Id of the link in js popup that I want to click>")
    assertText("<text I need to check>")
end

this method is then called in '.test' file, but never works for a javascript popup, for the rest its all good !

help !

Popups a lot of the time are in a different context, either a frame or a window. When you call assertText, Selenium ignores these. Use the switchTo function (not sure of exact syntax in ruby) to switch to the popup before calling assertText

In Ruby maybe we should use like this: @driver.switch_to.alert.accept
