Pop-up window options are interrogatable but doesn't perform action when automation is ran
There's a pop-up in our web-app that needs to be clicked ("OK" or "cancel"). We can interrogate these and the performClick in 'Test Control Methods' is working.
However, when we start debugging and run the automation, it's not clicking the 'OK' in the pop-up.
Already tried the following:
Insert a sleep before the performClick
sendKeys {ENTER}
tried different kinds of performClick
Looks like it's not detecting the pop-up in the automation run.
Anyone encountered this?
Thanks in advance!

This is most likely caused by the Pop-up being a modal dialog which locks the automation thread from clicking on the button. Try creating an automation that uses an Event to run, you could use the Created event for the dialog, and then have that automation click on the OK or Cancel button.

You can also use a Parallel Process to click the button that shows the dialog on one path, and have a second path that closes the dialog. The bottom execution link out of the Parallel Process will happen after both of the other paths are complete.
