Summary of the issue:
I have no idea if this is an Alert, but it sure looks like one.
Ways of closing the screen manually: Enter, Escape, Cancel, Sign In
note: The username input is selected the moment we arrive on the page so for me it is safe to assume we are in the correct element. I also include the inspect element result, which is completely empty.
Attempted code:
Press Enter Key: Press Keys NONE \ue007
Press Escape Key: Press Keys NONE \ue00c
Handle Alert: Handle Alert DISMISS --> Alert not found in 5s (there is a sleep before this just so I know 100% sure the 'alert' is loaded.
Google suggests that these things are often inside an iFrame and I have to select it first. I however have no clue how to figure out if it is inside an iFrame or what the identifier would be.

There is a requirement like verifying Text using selenium on Popup notification before vanishing.
Not find any suitable solution for this.Please help me in this use-case
You can use the below code to get text from popup after that you can assert with the expected text
String value =driver.switchTo().alert().getText();
it is really unpredictable to understand your scenario.We must need pop-up HTML and a screenshot, and what problem you are facing.Sometime the pop up might be bootstrap modal or alert, so without knowing the popup, it is not possible to give the solution.Besides you can try simply find the element and use getText() function.If it is simple modal(Bootstrap), it will give you the text.
If you are struggling to find the element you can pause the JavaScript by using F8.
I'm looking for an opportunity to send "Enter" key to browser window, not to web element(to confirm the appearing save dialog). Is it possible?
This is in python, but other language will be similar. You should be able to use driver.switch_to.alert when the alert appears, which returns the alert object. If you just want to confirm the alert, use driver.switch_to.alert.accept(). Sending the enter key would be:
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
# Get to stage where alert appears
# Send enter key
driver.switch_to.alert.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
You may need to use Expected Conditions to wait for the alert to actually appear.
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.
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
