I'm working with a selenium webdriver to automate some process
while attempting to refresh a page , it is giving a popup.
On clicking of the 'retry' button in that popup, the page gets refreshed.
I want to know how to handle this popup to click on 'retry' button.
I could not post the image as I'm not having enough reputation points.

Selenium's Alert Interface may suit your needs.
Here is an example usage that switches WebDriver's focus to an alert, and then accepts it.
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
Alert Interface:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/Alert.html
You can try send key alert.sendKeys("13") to press Enter blindly
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.sendKeys("13");
Make also sure that Selenium Web Driver does not want to accept alert to early, it is common practice to do some wait (for couple of seconds) like #workspace said.
Other workaround for not invoke actions by selenium, is repeating it until it will be executed successfully. Of course with timeout, for example 30 sec.

My scenario which produces the question goes something like below:
I enter a webpage via normal means, next I press on a button, to start a HTML5 application on this webpage, this application is inside an iFrame. On application start I'm being prompted to either turn the sound on or off. At this point there are two possible outcomes:
1. When I answer this prompt manually, new buttons appear in the application window, as expected.
2. When I answer this prompt through automation via Appium, new buttons do not appear.
Now to the question:
To answer the prompt I use the click() method from Selenium. Is it possible that this click() is not considered to be executed by a human and therefore doesn't trigger necessary things? And since I don't have access to the source of the application can I force the Selenium click() to look exactly like a human click?
Here is the code I use to execute the mentioned click:
//Application loading up, hence the sleep
Thread.sleep(5000);
AppiumTestBase.getDriver().switchTo().frame("e_iframe");
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
AppiumTestBase.getStandardWaitTime().until(elementToBeClickable(soundOff));
soundOff.click();
The program is able to find and switch in to the iFrame, there are no cross-origin issues either. The AppiumTestBase is just there for initializing the driver, setup capabilities etc. I also tried clicking the element via Actions and JavaScript, but there was no change in behavior.
In C# a workaround I've found to actually take control of the mouse and move it/click with it is to use "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting" for the Keyboard/Mouse libraries. From there, you can tell it "Mouse.Click(new Point(X, Y));"and it will move your mouse to that location and click.
Sample Code:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting;
var soundOff = AppiumTestBase.getDriver().findElement(By.id("soundOff"));
Mouse.Click(new Point(soundOff.Bounds.X, soundOff.Bounds.Y));
Using Selenium IDE, I recorded one testcase that contained a click url, then give the username and password and clicked the button to navigate to next page.
In the render page, if I click any link the error is shown as Element link=linkname not found.
Why does this error occur?
Page is fully loaded when that command is executing?
If not just put waitForPageToLoad or pause command.
waitForPageToLoad | timeout
Or
pause | 5000
Also you can use command clickAndWait for button after entering username and password
There are different ways via which you can handle such issues. The issues can be of rendering as username and password click is fine as you will rest on same page when you enter values in these test boxes.
But as soon as you click on submit button then application has to load a new page with the credentials you have just added.
So this requires some time in terms selenium. What you can do is you can put some waits just after this action. So far selenium provides two types of waits Explicit and Implicit waits.
And you can try thread.sleep() , its a java type of method which is also a kind of wait. But implicit and explicit waits are highly recommended in Selenium coding.
You can refer to this blog for more knowledge on waits (http://khyatisehgal.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/how-to-handle-timeouts-implicit-and-explicit-waits-in-selenium/)

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);
For more information, go through this link link
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 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 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
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 handle 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.
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.

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
