1361454 - With `get` command a previously set `beforeunload` handler is not triggered

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect, P3)

Description

As seen while working on bug 1357634, the get command does not invoke the tab modal alert, which asks the user to leave or stay on the current page. It works fine with `click`, but fails with `get`.

Maybe this happens because of the way how we set the new url:

> curContainer.frame.location = url;

It's something we might investigate and get fixed at some point.

Example code:

    def test_navigate_aborted_with_onbeforeunload(self):
        page = self.marionette.absolute_url("beforeunload.html")
        self.marionette.navigate(page)
        self.marionette.navigate(self.test_page_remote)

        # navigate returns immediately when a beforeunload handler is invoked
        alert = self.marionette.switch_to_alert()
        alert.dismiss()

As by the spec none of the navigation commands should handle the beforeunload event, but it is ignored/disabled by default. See bug 1434872.
