I run multiple (2) IE web-drivers together.(for user side and admin side tests)
When the InternetExplorer WebDriver click on link/button that opens an modal popup, login page are opened on new window (abnormal).
When the ie webdriver popup the window , I can see for a fraction of a second the correct address the browser should load (in URL line) , but immediatly it changed to the login url, and required enter username and password.
I found the same problem in this link,
I made the solution there, but I still have not solved the problem, and I get an entry window instead of the expected window.
see this screenshot
My InternetExplorerOptions:
private static InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions
{
EnsureCleanSession = true ,
EnableNativeEvents = true ,
RequireWindowFocus = true ,
EnablePersistentHover = true ,
ForceCreateProcessApi = true ,
BrowserCommandLineArguments = "-framemerging -private"
};
I added the registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FrameMerging\(DWORD)00000000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth\(DWORD)00000000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE\iexplorer.exe\(DWORD)00000000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BFCACHE\iexplorer.exe\(DWORD)00000000
Edited:
By the Deepak-MSFT references, I understand that the issue caused by more than one IE web-driver instances.
I tried to kill the IE driver also by adding the ConfirmCleanSession = true
option to the code, and also manually by running of the following statements from the command line (before running the test);
taskkill / F / IM iexplore.exe / T
taskkill / F / IM IEDriverServer.exe / T
But it did not help once I set 2 IE web-drivers to work together.
(When I tried to run the test only on one driver - it worked great!)
I would appreciate help in solving the problem!

My Solution:
Split the test case into two tests:
First Test -
Use the IE web-driver for the first site (in my case - the admin side), and parallel use another web-driver (which does not cause problems like Chrome web-driver) for the second site (in my case - the admin side)
And a second test-
Use the other web-driver above for the first site, and parallel use the IE web-driver for the second site.
So I covered the tests in IE for the two sites.

This issue is due to a quirk of IE itself and how the driver creates the popup window for the browser.
The workaround is to ensure there are no iexplore.exe processes running when you start the session with the driver.
