puppeteer on popup dialog/modal

Question

Appreciate if anyone can help

Running in to this issue and searching around has not yielded a result regarding the puppeteer dialog modal. As such I am struggling to determine which path to take.

modal dialog

This modal dialog appears when clicking on :

await frame.click ("ul#P11_MAIN_CONTAINER_cards a:nth-child(1) > span")

This oracle Apex dialog.modal doesn't seem to have id or name only src. I am unable to access the elements in this dialog/modal .

I wonder if you have any guidance on this issue type, furthermore how does puppeteer cater to this type of "popup"

contentFrame[0] is valid contentFrame2 is valid at the base page.

• unable to get the iframe inside the dialog/modal

• this oracle apex modal dialog appears after the click and thus blocks the puppeteer, so how does one go about handling dialog/modal? popup?

• does this require a targetcreated method? if so how does target created work on this part?

• or does a new tab ( like this below ) require a const page2 = await browser.newPage();?

 tabindex="-1" role="dialog" class="ui-dialog ui-corner-all ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-front ui-dialog--apex t-Dialog--wizard ui-draggable ui-resizable" aria-describedby="apex_dialog_1" aria-labelledby="ui-id-1" style="position: fixed; height: 90%; width: 90%; top: 5%; left: 5%; max-width: 100%;">.........

Appreciate if anyone have anything to share.

What you can do solve your issue is to create a new async function and inside of it you can put Puppeteer's page.evaluate() function. Then click on the button and load up the modal (grab the modal by its aria-labbelledby attribute) and put its contents inside a variable. This entire function should be outside of your main function.

Then in your main function you can call this grabTheModal() function after you go to the URL.

You can do all that like this:

let modalContents;

const grabTheModal = async(page) => {
    await page.evaluate(async () => {
        await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            frame.click ("ul#P11_MAIN_CONTAINER_cards a:nth-child(1) > span")
            setTimeout(() => {
                const modal = document.querySelector('[aria-labelledby=ui-id-2]'); // Grab the modal by its aria label
                modalContents = modal.innerHTML;
                resolve();
            }, 500)
        });
    });
}

const getModalContents = async() => {
    let browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    let page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto(url, {waitUntil: 'load'}); //Remember to add your own URL in the url variable
    await grabTheModal(page);
    await browser.close();
    console.log(modalContents)
}
getModalContents();
