Handling the Pop-Ups and Java script alerts

·         Handling the Pop-Ups and Java script alerts

Some web applications have many frames or multiple windows. WebDriver supports moving between named windows using the “switchTo” method:  

Ex :     

Alternatively, you can pass a “window handle” to the “switchTo().window()” method. Knowing this, it’s possible to iterate over every open window like so:

Starting with Selenium 2.0 beta 1, there is built in support for handling popup dialog boxes. After you’ve triggered an action that opens a popup, you can access the alert with the following: 

This will return the currently open alert object. With this object you can now accept, dismiss, read its contents or even type into a prompt. This interface works equally well on alerts, confirms, and prompts.

Example :

           //Alert Window Object

            Alert  alertWindow = driver.switchTo().alert();

           

            //Accepting the Alert

            alertWindow.accept();

           

            //Cancelling the alert

            alertWindow.dismiss();

           

            //Get the content of alert

   alertWindow.getText();
