selenium IDE "selectPopUpAndWait" and "Close" commands with example

Selenium IDE is very useful regression testing tool in software industry. Selenium IDE has many built in commands and you can also extend it using extensions files. Let me describe you more 2 commands of Selenium IDE.

"selectPopUpAndWait" command

You can read my post about "selectPopUp" command before understanding "selectPopUpAndWait" command. As name suggests, "selectPopUpAndWait" is combination of two commands - 1) "selectPopUp" and 2) "waitForPageToLoad". "selectPopUp" command will select targeted popup window and

"waitForPageToLoad" command will pause selenium until page get reloaded successfully.

"close" Command

You can use "close" command for closing window. It has not any other function. Let we see both commands with example as bellow.

New Test
Command	Target	Value
open	http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp? filename=tryhtml_a_target
verifyTextPresent	Open link in a new window or tab
click	link=Visit W3Schools!
pause	2000
selectPopUpAndWait	W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
verifyTextPresent	Learn to Create Websites
close

In above example, "selectPopUpAndWait" command will select new opened popup and then it will wait for page to load. Next command will be not executed until page loading is in process. once page reloaded successfully, Next command will be executed.

Last "Close" command will simply close the new opened popup window with title "W3Schools Online Web Tutorials". Run above script yourself to understand both commands better.
