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 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.
Update: Adding the image
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.
This may be a noob question, but I don't know how to determine what type of popup I am interacting with so I can have enough information to automate it using selenium webdriver.
I assumed it was just a popup, but when using (what seems to be) the standard way of dealing with popups my Selenium JUnit test freezes the instance the button is clicked.
String mainWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
//P2: Click on the element that opens the popup
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Login')]")).click();
Set s=driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator ite=s.iterator();
while(ite.hasNext()){
System.out.println("Current ite = " + ite.next().toString());
String popupHandle=ite.next().toString();
if(!popupHandle.contains(mainWindowHandle)){
driver.switchTo().window(popupHandle);
System.out.println("reached popup window? Now perform the login procedure before returning to the original window");
driver.switchTo().window(mainWindowHandle);
}
}
This code was described here and was the accepted answer. I have also seen many other similar examples of this code, however in my application the selenium test hangs on line
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Login')]")).click();
It just waits for me to enter login info, and until I do that manually the test hangs. If I do enter the info the test continues. I want to have this code finding the handle of the popup window (and eventually) populating it with username and pass and clicking on 'ok'. Though could it be possible that I am not dealing with a traditional popup? How could I tell?
This login button is the following element in the html Login
I faced the same issue while using selenium RC. I have used try catch block as shown below which helped me in solving the problem.
hope it will be useful.
//webdriver code till clicking the pop up link
try {
selenium.waitForPopUp("myWindow","3000");
}
catch(Exception e){
selenium.selectPopUp("myWindow");
selenium.windowFocus();
//activity that needs to be performed on the pop up window***
//code that takes back the focus to main window
String[] winFocus;
String winTitle;
winFocus = selenium.getAllWindowTitles();
winTitle = winFocus[0];
selenium.selectWindow(winTitle);
}
I am writing an automated test in Selenium IDE to test one of our applications. Our app throws one of those confirmation dialogs "Are you sure you want to continue."
Click OK or Cancel
Selenium does not support the clicking of these dialog boxes. I have
tried the following SeleniumIDE functions with no success:
chooseOkOnNextConfirmation
chooseOkOnNextConfirmationAndWait
Is there a JavaScript function I can call within SeleniumIDE to do
this, or am I out of luck.
If you are working on IDE the code should be
Command : assertConfirmation
Target : Are you sure you want to continue?
This will help you for sure..
If you are working on WebDriver, then the code should be
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
You are going to have to use JavascriptExecutor to press the OK or Cancel button while using Selenium. You could try something along the lines of -
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.confirm = function(msg){return true;};");
That is of course, without seeing any of your code
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 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

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
