How to handle Alerts in Selenium WebDriver
In this video, I have shown how to handle Alerts in Selenium WebDriver.
Selenium WebDriver is an open-source tool for automated testing of web apps across many browsers.
WebDriver provides an API for working with the three types of native popup messages offered by JavaScript. These popups are styled by the browser and offer limited customization.
1) Alerts (Simple Alerts)
The simplest of all javascript popups is referred to as an alert, which shows a custom message, and a single button that dismisses the alert, labeled in most browsers as OK. It can also be dismissed in most browsers by pressing the close button, but this will always do the same thing as the OK button.
WebDriver can get the text from the popup and accept or dismiss these alerts.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("https://www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("alertBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Store the alert text in a variable
String text = alert.getText();
//Press the OK button
alert.accept();
2) Confirm (Confirmation Alerts)
A confirm box is similar to an alert, except the user can also choose to cancel the message.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("https://www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("confirmBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Store the alert text in a variable
String text = alert.getText();
//Press the Cancel button
alert.dismiss();
3) Prompt (Prompt Alerts)
Prompts are similar to confirm boxes, except they also include a text input. Similar to working with form elements, you can use WebDriver’s send keys to fill in a response. This will completely replace the placeholder text. Pressing the cancel button will not submit any text.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("https://www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("promptBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Type your message
alert.sendKeys("Hello Tester");
//Press the OK button
alert.accept();
The operations that we can perform on these popups using selenium are,
1) Accept - Refers to clicking on the Ok button.
2) Dismiss - Refers to clicking on the Cancel button.
3) SendKeys - Refers to entering text into a textbox available in the prompt box.
4) GetText - Refers to get the label text present on the popup box.
