selenium-webdriver Handle an alert Selenium with Java
Example
Here's how to Handle a popup alert in Java with Selenium:
There are 3 types of popups.
- Simple alert : alert("This is a simple alert");
- Confirmation alert : var popuResult = confirm("Confirm pop up with OK and Cancel button");
- Prompt alert : var person = prompt("Do you like stackoverflow?", "Yes/No");
Its upto user which type of popup need to be handled in their test case.
Either you can
-
accept() To accept the alert
-
dismiss() To dismiss the alert
-
getText() To get the text of the alert
-
sendKeys() To write some text to the alert
For simple alert:
Alert simpleAlert = driver.switchTo().alert();
String alertText = simpleAlert.getText();
System.out.println("Alert text is " + alertText);
simpleAlert.accept();
For Confirmation alert :
Alert confirmationAlert = driver.switchTo().alert();
String alertText = confirmationAlert.getText();
System.out.println("Alert text is " + alertText);
confirmationAlert.dismiss();
For Prompt alert :
Alert promptAlert = driver.switchTo().alert();
String alertText = promptAlert .getText();
System.out.println("Alert text is " + alertText);
//Send some text to the alert
promptAlert .sendKeys("Accepting the alert");
Thread.sleep(4000); //This sleep is not necessary, just for demonstration
promptAlert .accept();
according to your needs.
Another way you can do this, is wrap your code inside a try-catch:
try{
// Your logic here.
} catch(UnhandledAlertException e){
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
}
// Continue.
