Hi David,

I will appreciate if you submit a private thread in which we can explore the execution of the specific tests against the actual application. Probably there is some sort of adjustment required and we will be able to sort this out. 

As to the dialogs in the different browser versions - this is always an issue from our perspective too. Very often the dialogs in the latest browsers have different structure from before and the built-in dialog handlers stop working as expected and we need to fix them. For this we have implemented the option to push instant updates through the browser support update. 

At the time when we started our conversation there was such an update available, so you can check if you have installed it. 

The dialog handlers in code are using these same definitions to handle the dialog in test execution. So, there is no significant difference if you are using the coded approach or the built-in handlers to address the dialogs in the tested application. 

On the other hand, my suggestion to use the annotations is only meant for troubleshooting until the cause of the misbehavior is identified. It is not a solution to slow down the overall test execution.

Having all these notes in mind and the fact that the sample project works fine on my end for both extension-less Chrome run or execution with the extension, my advice is to focus on the specific tests and application. To avoid sharing any sensitive information in this public thread, you can contact us in a private support thread. 

Thank you for your cooperation once again.

Hello David,

I checked the execution log and it seems as there was no dialog to be handled. So, I suspect that there could be something wrong with the click step, which needs to trigger the upload dialog. To verify if that step could be causing any troubles, please, execute the test locally with enabled annotations - these will slow the down the execution slightly so, it will be a good cross check to understand what is going on during the run. 

Please, let me know if there is any difference.

Hello David,

Thank you for the thorough description of the observed behavior. 

I verified the dialogs with the extension-less mode for Chrome on my end and can confirm that all these are working as expected. The mechanism of test execution for the Chrome without extension is different than the one you are used to with the extension in Chrome. One of the major differences is the dialog handling and to be more precise - the visual representation of handling the dialogs. 

Having that said, I guess that you have observed a run of the test with the extension-less mode and noticed that no dialog appears. If this is the only thing that bothers you (the steps from the test were handled correctly and reported passed, and also you have evidence the file is uploaded), there is no reason to worry - the dialogs in this mode do not appear during the test run. Still, they are handled as expected. 

I also checked the sample projects you prepared and don't see an issue with these. So, please, let me know if the shared information makes sense for you or there is anything else we need to focus on.

Thank you for your understanding in advance.
