In my project, there is something called creating tasks.
Upon creation of tasks and I close the page, system prompts me an alert
"You are about to close this application and save all changes...."
followed by an OK and Cancel.
Using F12, am unable to detect neither the alert nor the OK/Cancel buttons. Please take a look in the image uploaded.
Personally I have never worked with alerts in tests so I might be wrong, but I think that keyword Handle Alert should be helpful for you.
http://robotframework.org/SeleniumLibrary/SeleniumLibrary.html#Handle%20Alert
Could you please try with Dismiss Alert or Confirm Action
For more details check the below link
http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library.html#Dismiss%20Alert
Confirm Action
http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library-1.8.0.html#Confirm%20Action
Try with the below keyword
Choose Cancel On Next Confirmation

How can I press the OK button in a JS alert programmatically?
What I want to do: every time after the alert is created, the OK button is pressed.
This is for a UI test using Selenium RC.
Also, I have already checked: Click in OK button inside an Alert (Selenium IDE).
Edit: I had already used chooseOkOnNextConfirmation() and placed it before clicking the button the generated the alert. I also tried placing it after. Nothing worked!
Using chooseOkOnNextConfirmation you can do that.
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation(); // prepares Selenium to handle next alert
selenium.click(locator);
String alertText = selenium.getAlert(); // verifies that alert was shown
assertEquals("This is a popup window", alertText);

If you can actually see an alert dialog, then it can't be done. Selenium should handle it for you. But, as stated in Selenium documentation:
Selenium tries to conceal those dialogs from you (by replacing
window.alert, window.confirm and window.prompt) so they won’t stop the
execution of your page. If you’re seeing an alert pop-up, it’s
probably because it fired during the page load process, which is
usually too early for us to protect the page.
It is a known limitation of Selenium RC (and, therefore, Selenium IDE, too) and one of the reasons why Selenium 2 (WebDriver) was developed. If you want to catch onload JS alerts, you need to use WebDriver alert handling.
That said, you can use Robot or selenium.keyPressNative() to fill in any text and press Enter and confirm the dialog blindly. It's not the cleanest way, but it could work. You won't be able to get the alert message, however.
Robot has all the useful keys mapped to constants, so that will be easy. With keyPressNative(), you want to use 10 as value for pressing Enter or 27 for Esc since it works with ASCII codes.
You can't. Unless you use something that can control the browser (e.g. selenium).
If you do use selenium, have a look at Click in OK button inside an Alert (Selenium IDE)
If you can simulate a keypress of the space bar or enter key, then that will dismiss the alert. However you'd better be doing this from outside whatever makes the alert show up in the first place, since they tend to be blocking.
If this is JavaScript, you may be better off using console.log().
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation(); is working for me in Selenium RC.
We have to comment the code for Alert OK button then it will work.
$this->chooseOkOnNextConfirmation();
$this->click('locator');
$this->getConfirmation();
The above process worked for me using Selenium RC with PHPUnit
Swift 3
you want to try this code in show alert and ok and cancel button
let sharephotoAction = UIAlertController.init(title: "Confirm Ticket", message:"Please Collect Your Ticket Before 1 Hours Ago in Location", preferredStyle: .alert )
sharephotoAction.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (alertAction) in
_ = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 0.5, target: self, selector: #selector(self.Save), userInfo: nil, repeats: false)
}))
sharephotoAction.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancle", style: .default, handler:nil))
self.present(sharephotoAction, animated: true, completion:nil)
You can use GSEvent.h for handling any type of keypress events, It is availble in GraphicsServices framework, It is private framewrk(so, you are not able submit it on appstore).
I am auto generating scripts using qtp10.0
My application has a popup with message The current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted site sites list. Do you want to allow this? and I want to click yes on this popup. But my script is not doing this.
Can't we click on security warning Yes button using script in qtp 10.0?
First of all yes you should be able to click the "yes" button with QTP 10.
Kind of hard to answer specifically without more details but I will give you some pointers on where I would look to fix the problem.
1) Make sure you have the correct identification properties stored in the object repository for the browser, the dialog and the yes button by using the object spy.
2) Not the best solution but as the browser, and therefore the Yes button, is probably not the application under test it is probably satisfactory to use the hotkey for the yes button. (if one is available). To do this the code would look something like this.
'If the dialog exists
If Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Exist(3) Then
'Use hotkey to press the yes button
Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Type "Y"
'If the dialog still exists
If Browser(<BrowserName>).Dialog(<DialogName>).Exist(1) Then
'report failure
Else
'report step done or passed
EndIf
EndIf
Feel free to comment and I will attempt to help you further if you are still having problems.
I am writing tests for a web App using selenium webDriver and came across a scenario where when I try to close the browser I get a popup saying "Are you sure? The page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data entered will be lost." with 2 buttons: Leave Page and Stay on Page
How do I click on those buttons?
( ( JavascriptExecutor ) _driver )
.executeScript( "window.onbeforeunload = function(e){};" );
solved the issue for me
IAlert alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
alert.Accept(); //for two buttons, choose the affirmative one
// or
alert.Dismiss(); //to cancel the affirmative decision, i.e., pop up will be dismissed and no action will take place
You can interact with alerts and the like using the Alert API. Switching to the alert and confirm it would look like this (in Java):
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
This is also explained in the Selenium FAQ.
def close_all_popups(driver):
driver.window_handles
for h in driver.window_handles[1:]:
driver.switch_to_window(h)
driver.close()
driver.switch_to_window(driver.window_handles[0])
You might try using keyboard events. So once the window pops up:
Tab onto the "Ok" button.
driver.Keyboard.PressKey(Keys.Tab);
You'll have to play around to see how many tab presses are required.
Then hit space.
driver.Keyboard.PressKey(Keys.Space);
Yeah it's sort of a hack, but WebDriver is still pretty immature.
EDIT: This will work for "real" popups, but as another answerer said, maybe not for weird in-page things. Basically, if you can tab to the close button manually, this method should work.
Not sure what is the structure of the popup that you have used.
Here are a few that may work for you if you have used either of as to popup.
If its an alert. you can try:
driver.SwitchTo().Alert()
If its a window that pops up then:
driver.SwitchTo().Window(<windowname>)
For iFrame:
driver.SwitchTo().Frame("iFrmLinks")
Once you get through either of the three then you can access all its internal elements.

I've got the same problem when i have the form of fields and "done editing" submit button, because when Selenium IDE auto-click the javascript function, that responsible to disable confirmation window (leave page or still on it), it does not take "mouseup" mouse event that mean window.confirm still works and auto-pass test was fails. My solution is override javascript function window.onbeforeunload in this case (no need to ask if we know that we do when we record test in Selenium IDE). You can run override script in the Selnium IDE before click on "Save" (or something like this) button through selenium.runScript - it should simple disable the confirmation window.
Command: runScript
Target: {window.onbeforeunload=function(e){};}
You need to handle the unexpected alerts using try catch blocks. Put your code in try block and catch the 'UnhandledAlertException'
Example:
try{
.....
.....
code here
}catch(UnhandledAlertException e ){
driver.switchto().alert().dismiss();
}
Put one of these before the click event:
selenium.chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation()
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation()
I'm writing some automated tests in C# and a JavaScript error is thrown when I try to click on a button that will submit changes made to a web form. The error I am recieving is:
An error has occured in the script on this page
Line: 2004
Char: 9
Error: Permission denied
Code: 0
URL: file:///C:/DOCUME~1/nkinney/LOCALS~1/Temp/customProfileDir6c0c7d7226cc463fbb1a7f6253c4df62/core/scripts/selenium-browserbot.js
Once the test is finished, the error will still be displayed if I manually click on the button while selenium is running.
The line in selenium to select this button is:
selenium.Click("//input[contains(#id, 'SubmitBtn')]");
I've also tried submit.
A pop-up should be displayed asking the user to confirm they want to make the changes. This error is thrown before the pop-up is displayed and after Selenium 'clicks' on the button.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
After further investigation, I found that Selenium is unable to work with custom modal dialog boxes. That said, I don't think I will be able to use Selenium to automate UI testing in our current release. Thanks to anyone who looked at this post.
From the Selenium FAQ
I can't interact with a popup dialog. My test stops in its tracks!
You can, but only if the dialog is an alert or confirmation dialog.
Other special dialogs can't be dismissed by javascript, and thus
currently cannot be interacted with. These include the "Save File",
"Remember this Password" (Firefox), and modal (IE) dialogs. When they
appear, Selenium can only wring its hands in despair.
To solve this issue, you may use a workaround (if one exists);
otherwise you may have to exclude the test from your automated corpus.
For the "Save File" dialog in Firefox, a custom template may be
specified when running via the RC that will always cause the file to
be downloaded to a specified location, without querying the user (see
http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?messageID=31350). The "Remember
this Password" dialog should not appear again after you've chosen to
remember it. Currently there is not much that can be done about IE
modal dialogs.
Do you have the option of seeing if the test runs in another browser (Firefox, Chrome)?
A very similar answer is also here: How do I test modal dialogs with Selenium?
I need to click the 'Ok' button inside an alert window with a Selenium command. I've tried assertAlert or verifyAlert but they don't do what I want.
It's possible the click the 'Ok' button? If so, can someone provide me an example of the Selenium IDE command?
Try Selenium 2.0b1. It has different core than the first version. It should support popup dialogs according to documentation:
Popup Dialogs
Starting with Selenium 2.0 beta 1, there is built in support for handling popup dialog boxes. After you’ve triggered and action that would open a popup, you can access the alert with the following:
Java
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
Ruby
driver.switch_to.alert
This will return the currently open alert object. With this object you can now accept, dismiss, read it’s contents or even type into a prompt. This interface works equally well on alerts, confirms, prompts. Refer to the JavaDocs for more information.
To click the "ok" button in an alert box:
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
This is an answer from 2012, the question if from 2009, but people still look at it and there's only one correct (use WebDriver) and one almost useful (but not good enough) answer.
If you're using Selenium RC and can actually see an alert dialog, then it can't be done. Selenium should handle it for you. But, as stated in Selenium documentation:
Selenium tries to conceal those dialogs from you (by replacing
window.alert, window.confirm and window.prompt) so they won’t stop the
execution of your page. If you’re seeing an alert pop-up, it’s

1| Print Alert popup text and close -I
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
System.out.println(closeAlertAndGetItsText());
2| Print Alert popup text and close -II
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
System.out.println(alert.getText()); //Print Alert popup
alert.accept(); //Close Alert popup
3| Assert Alert popup text and close
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
assertEquals("Expected Value", closeAlertAndGetItsText());
If you using selenium IDE then you have to click on Ok button manually because when alert message command run that time browser stop working and if you want to click on ok button automatically then you have to use selenium RC or webdriver and below command is for Selenium IDE
In selenium ide use storeeval command, different type of boxes
storeEval | alert("This is alert box") |
storeEval | prompt("This is prompt box. Please enter the value") | text
storeEval | confirm("this is cofirm box") |
You might look into chooseOkOnNextConfirmation, although that should probably be the default behavior if I read the docs correctly.
The question isn't clear - is this for an alert on page load? You shouldn't see any alert dialogues when using Selenium, as it replaces alert() with its own version which just captures the message given for verification.
Selenium doesn't support alert() on page load, as it needs to patch the function in the window under test with its own version.
If you can't get rid of onload alerts from the application under test, you should look into using GUI automation to click the popups which are generated, e.g. AutoIT if you're on Windows.
Use the Alert Interface, First switchTo() to alert and then either use accept() to click on OK or use dismiss() to CANCEL it
Alert alert_box = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert_box.accept();
or
Alert alert_box = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert_box.dismiss();
about Selenium IDE, I am not an expert but you have to add the line "choose ok on next confirmation" before the event which trigger the alert/confirm dialog box as you can see into this screenshot:
assertAlert ought to do the trick. I see in the docs that alerts generated in a page's OnLoad event handler cannot be scripted this way (and have experienced it myself, alas, due to the ASP.NET page lifecycle). Could that be what you're running into?
For selenium, an alert is the one which raised using javascript e.g.
javascript:alert();
There is one basic check to verify whether your alert is actually a javascript alert or just a div-based box for displaying some message.
If its a javascript alert, you wont be able to see it on screen while running the selenium script.
If you are able to see it, then you need to get the locator of the ok button of the alert and use selenium.click(locator) to dismiss the alert. Can help you better if you can provide more context:
IDE or RC?
HTML code of the alert
your selenium script.
Vamyip
Use chooseOkOnNextConfirmation() to dismiss the alert and getAlert() to verify that it has been shown (and optionally grab its text for verification).
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation(); // prepares Selenium to handle next alert
selenium.click(locator);
String alertText = selenium.getAlert(); // verifies that alert was shown
assertEquals("This is a popup window", alertText);
...
This is Pythoncode
Problem with alert boxes (especially sweet-alerts is that they have a
delay and Selenium is pretty much too fast)
An Option that worked for me is:
while True:
try:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="sweet-alert showSweetAlert visible"]')
break
except:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 1000)
confirm_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[#class="confirm"]')
confirm_button.click()
The new Selenium IDE (released in 2019) has a much broader API and new documentation.
I believe this is the command you'll want to try:
webdriver choose ok on visible confirmation
Described at:
https://www.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/docs/en/api/commands/#webdriver-choose-ok-on-visible-confirmation
There are other alert-related API calls; just search that page for alert
