[Wtr-general] [question] Again Modal Dialogs and Watir 1.5

[Bret Pettichord]

Rodrigo,

I generally try to set my security settings so these dialogs don't show up
in the first place. It's quite possible that they have been designed not be
to be scriptable specifically to prevent scripting-based attacks from being
able to directly manipulate the security dialogs.

There has been little or no work in this area with Watir since 1.4.1. Look
at our code and see if you can find a solution using Autoit or the direct
calls to the Windows API. Frankly, Watir's support for windows non-web modal
dialogs is limited and not terribly reliably. Fixing it was originally in
the Road Map for 1.5, but it may get deferred.
