Make RFT recognize objects on popup screen of Edge in both recording/playback.

We are now using RFT10.2.1(RFT perspective and simplified script) and noticed that RFT doesn't recognize any object on popup screen of Edge.

This popup is NOT Html Dialog, it's using Edge.


In case of IE, objects on the popup screen are correctly recognized.

Please, make RFT recognize objects on popup screen of Edge in recording/playback, as well as IE.

We need to change main browser to test our web application from IE to Edge asap before EOS of IE.

    Code provided by the guest doesn't work .The issue here is RFT displaying document name for both the browser as same.

    When you have a browser which opens another sub browser with same host but different URL RFT is still dispalying both as same document name.

    If your windows have different documentName properties you can try this, where "UniqueURL" is a defining value in your pop window


    int browserCountStart = GUIUtil.getBrowserCount(getRootTestObject()); System.out.println("browser count"+browserCountStart);

    TestObject[] browser = getRootTestObject().find(atDescendant(".class","Html.HtmlBrowser"));System.out.println("Browser Object count "+browser.length);

    int browserToUse = -1;

    for(int i=0; i<browser.length; i++) {

    System.out.println("Browser "+i+" documentName: "+browser[i].getProperty(".documentName").toString());

    if(browser[i].getProperty(".documentName").toString().contains("UniqueURL")) {

    browserToUse= i;

    System.out.println("browser chosen: "+browserToUse);

    }

    }

    return browser[browserToUse];
