I am facing an issue in handling pop up window in IE , pop up window is not the part of DOM, and it is not getting recorded in LR.

Solution 1:

First you need to try recording script from Chrome, because in chrome it did not ask for saving file , it directly open up PDF in new tab and you can use that URL as request in LR.
Also you can take help from below Blog for file saving.

http://motevich.blogspot.in/2008/04/loadrunner-how-to-record-pdf-file.html.

By this activity , we were able to find "how much time it took to open that PDF"

Solution 2:

The complete code for downloading file to the local disk, calculate the download size and response time.

long fp,Download_Size=0;

float Download_Time=0; 
char *data; 
unsigned long prmLen;

long Download_Size=0;

//Truncate to zero length or create file for writing. 
fp = fopen("c:tempmy_file.pdf","wb");

//Set the parameter size large enough to save the data. 
web_set_max_html_param_len("200000");

//Use web_reg_save_param with the correct boundary to capture the data returned by the server.

web_reg_save_param("FILED","LB=","RB=","Search=Body",LAST);

web_url("PDF", 
..............................

.............................

.............................

LAST);

Download_Size= web_get_int_property(HTTP_INFO_DOWNLOAD_SIZE); 
Download_Time= web_get_int_property(HTTP_INFO_DOWNLOAD_TIME);

//Get the download size. 
lr_eval_string_ext("{FILED}", strlen("{FILED}"), &data, &prmLen, 0, 0, -1);

//Write the data saved to an output file.

fwrite(data, prmLen, 1, fp);

//Close the file pointer. 
fclose(fp);

lr_output_message("Downloaded File Size is: %.2ld Bytes", Download_Size); 
lr_output_message("File Download size is: %.2ld KB", Download_Size /1024); 
lr_output_message("File Download Time is:%.2f Seconds",Download_Time / 1000);

You can use the above c script to download the .pdf/ .xls or .xlsx file.

Alternative code--

long fp;
char *data;
unsigned long prmLen;

web_url("writings.html",
"URL=http://www.testing.com/writings.html",
"TargetFrame=",
"Resource=0",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=",
"Snapshot=t1.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
LAST);

//Truncate to zero length or create file for writing.
fp = fopen("c:\\temp\\my_file.pdf","wb");

//Set the parameter size large enough to save the data.
web_set_max_html_param_len("200000");

//Use web_reg_save_param with the correct boundary to capture the data returned by the server.
web_reg_save_param("FILED","LB=","RB=","Search=Body",LAST);

web_url("PDF",
"URL=http://www.testing.com/writings/automate.pdf",
"TargetFrame=",
"Resource=0",
"RecContentType=application/pdf",
"Referer=http://www.testing.com/writings.html",
"Snapshot=t2.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
LAST);

//Get the download size.
lr_eval_string_ext("{FILED}", strlen("{FILED}"), &data, &prmLen, 0, 0, -1);

//Write the data saved to an output file.
fwrite(data, prmLen, 1, fp);

//Close the file pointer.
fclose(fp);
