it needs a way to come back to main window

from splinter.

Maybe splinter could behave as "pushd" and "popd" shell commands:

browser.push_frame("frame_id1")
... do stuff for the iframe frame_id1
browser.push_frame("frame_foobar")
... do stuff for the iframe frame_foobar

browser.pop_frame()
... do EVEN MORE stuff for the iframe frame_id1
browser.pop_frame()
.... now we are back to main window

Going back to the main window should be as simple as passing in the value of None. This is done in the selenium python driver code by default.

I've updated the documentation to reflect the changes with the latest pull request.

Gabriel, I like this idea of push/pop frame.

from splinter.

Hey, we're thinking about an API like this:

with browser.get_iframe('iframe_id') as iframe:
    element = iframe.find_element_by_id('element_id').first

or...

element = in_iframe('iframe_id').find_element_by_id('element_id').first

What do you think?

from splinter.

I like the first better because typically my tests are about switching to a frame and running a lot of interactions in that frame before I am done. The second use case means that I would be duplicating the in_iframe a lot. At least, that's my view on the matter.

from splinter.

in the first case you will be repeat iframe instead in_frame. I think that with in_frame you can do:

iframe = in_frame('iframe_id')
iframe.find_element_by_id('element_id').first
iframe.find_element_by_id('other_element_id').first

from splinter.

Just an adjust:

browser.in_frame('iframe_id')

instead of just

in_frame('iframe_id')

:)

from splinter.

with approach implemented.

with browser.get_iframe('iframe_id') as iframe:
    element = iframe.find_element_by_id('element_id').first

As Selenium only works with iframes changing the context of the driver, we can't implement something like Andrews's examples. I discussed with him and we'll maintain just the with way, because having to switch to a frame and switch back everytime it's so boring and not pythonic.

Closed.

so how can i go back to the parent window context?
