Alert handling in selenium webdriver

Simple alert

Simple alerts just have a OK button on them. They are mainly used to display some information to the user. The first alert on our test page is a simple alert. Following code will read the text from the Alert and then accept the alert.

Code:

package alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class SimpleAlert {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\vishal\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\dasdf\\chromedriver.exe");     

WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();

    driver.get("http://toolsqa.com/handling-alerts-using-selenium-webdriver/");

    

    WebElement simplealert=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div[2]/div/div/p[4]/button"));

    simplealert.click();

    //click on the simple alert button

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

    String message=alert.getText();

    System.out.println("Alert="+message);

    alert.accept();

    

}

}

Confirmation Alert

This alert comes with an option to accept or dismiss the alert. To accept the alert you can use Alert.accept() and to dismiss you can use the  Alert.dismiss(). 

Code:

package alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class ConfirmationAlert {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\vishal\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\dasdf\\chromedriver.exe");     

WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();

    driver.get("http://toolsqa.com/handling-alerts-using-selenium-webdriver/");

    

    WebElement confirmationalert=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div[2]/div/div/p[8]/button"));

    confirmationalert.click();

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

    String message=alert.getText();

    System.out.println("Alert="+message);

    alert.accept();

    //you also use alert.dismiss() comand for alert

    driver.close();

}

}

Prompt Alerts

In prompt alerts you get an option to add text to the alert box. This is specifically used when some input is required from the user. We will use the sendKeys() method to type something in the Prompt alert box. Here is the code

Code:

package alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class PromptAlert {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\vishal\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\dasdf\\chromedriver.exe");     

WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver();

    driver.get("http://toolsqa.com/handling-alerts-using-selenium-webdriver/");

    

    WebElement promptalert=driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div[5]/div[2]/div/div/p[11]/button"));

    promptalert.click();

    

    

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

    //for entering message

    driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("say hello");

    

    String message=alert.getText();

    System.out.println("Alert="+message);

    alert.accept();

    //you also use alert.dismiss() comand for alert

    driver.close();

}

}
