How to Handle Popup Windows That Occur within Selenium Python

Question

So I have an issue where, I am trying to automate an Import on an application that has no API. As a result, I have to do like 30 navigation clicks just to get to what I want (Exaggeration). However, I am trying to basically automate the clicks that will allow me to upload a specific file. As a result, I almost get to the part where I have to select the specific test build I want to import the file with. There is a field that I need to do a send_keys to find the correct import build I have to upload. The Field element looks like this

<input class="lookupInput" type="text" name="brTestScoreImportLookupInput" id="brTestScoreImportLookupInput" style="width: 100px;" tabindex="1" onkeydown="return lookupKeyPressed(event,&quot;&quot;,&quot;simptbrws000.w&quot;)" origvalue="" det="true" aria-labelledby="" autocomplete="off">

However I don't think my code is properly handling the window as it pops-up from the prior selection. The field I need to update can be found in the picture I uploaded: Furthermore the XPATH for the Field is //*[@id='brTestScoreImportLookupInput'] You can find the full code here. The main aspect is I have to Enter TSI into that File ID field and then hit enter on my keyboard to populate the correct import utility I need. Once I do that the import utilities filter out and I need to select a specific File ID: .

The main code that should be controlling this:

# Click on Test Score Import Wizard - TW
# Test Wizard XPATH = //a[@id='tree1-3-link']/span
element = WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(
    EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@id='tree1-3-link']/span")))
element.click();

# Send test_upload and Send Keys
# Field XPATH = //*[@id='brTestScoreImportLookupInput']
test_lookup = browser.find_element_by_id("brTestScoreImportLookupInput")
test_lookup.send_keys(test_upload)

    Traceback (most recent call last): File ".\skyward_collegeboard_TSI_import.py", line 115, in
    <module> test_lookup = browser.find_element_by_id("brTestScoreImportLookupInput") File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 360, in find_element_by_id return self.find_element(by=By.ID, value=id_) File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py",

Is the element inside an iframe by any chance? Would be good if you could post the html source. But if your element is indeed in an iframe you need to switch first to the iframe before finding the field. Do that with driver.switch_to.frame(>>iframe name or id here) — 0buz

So I was able to accomplish this by using the following method using both selenium and pynput.

# Browser Switches to Window
WebDriverWait(browser,10).until(EC.number_of_windows_to_be(2))
browser.switch_to.window(browser.window_handles[-1])

# Send test_upload and oend Keys
# Field XPATH = //*[@id='brTestScoreImportLookupInput']
test_lookup = browser.find_element_by_id("brTestScoreImportLookupInput")
test_lookup.send_keys(test_upload)

# Press and Release Enter Key
keyboard.press(Key.enter)
keyboard.release(Key.enter)

Essentially I had to switch to that popup window.
