Hi all,

Recently I'm doing web automation with sahi, and It's a great tool, but there is a problem when I click a link "print" in a page, <a class="printIcon" href="javascript:window.print();">Print</a>

When I record the script,_click(_link("Print")) will popup print page, but it just no response when I execute the script, and in the test report, there is no error display, I use _navigateTo(_link("Print").href, true); in Chrome, page not loaded, just go ahead to next step, and in firefox4, navigate to a blank page.

Using sahi os 20110719

Can someone help me out of this, thanks advance.

Thanks,
Fion

    You could maybe _call("window.print()") instead?

    Hi Fion and Wormi,

    Print is one of those APIs that Sahi suppresses during playback because it blocks playback (like alert, confirm etc.)

    If you want to verify that print was called, do

    _assert(_printCalled());

    If you want to explicitly see the print coming up, you can call
    _print()
    But this will block further execution of script.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Narayan,

    Thanks for interpretation why print can not work when playback.

    Thanks,
