Mink testing sites that use alert() and confirm()

[SimonC]

Hi again.

I'm using Mink to test a site via the Sahi driver. The site uses
Javascript's confirm() function (eg to confirm deletion of a record),
and I need to test that this works for both 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons.

If I understand it correctly, Sahi supresses the actual alert/confirm
dialog, and defaults to simulating a positive response. This is a good
start, but I also need to test the negative response.

The Sahi documentation discusses this topic a bit (see
http://sahi.co.in/w/_expectconfirm ) but I'm unsure how to translate
this to Mink. Any help on this would be appreciated. :)

It would be good to be able to also run the same tests in Selenium,
but my main focus is Sahi at the moment.

Many thanks.

Thanks.

Hi Simon,

   Did you find out a solution to this? If so, please share with us.

Thanks,

There's simply no solution. Alert or Ask are called modal windows, because they block currently running script loop till user close those dialogs.

There's simply no way to do it programmatically. That's basically the main reason, why modal dialogs in frontend are bad practice.

Hi, with selenium2 you can play with alert, confirm and prompt.

Take a look to my this: https://gist.github.com/2888851

Could you add issue to the Mink repo (if it doesn't exist yet).

Ticket 158 already covers this request, for other drivers. I have added a note to this ticket to specify Sahi: https://github.com/Behat/Mink/issues/158

This looks like what is needed. How do I use this file? Here's what I've tried:

- I've added use Widop\Mink\Extension\PopupDictionary; to TraitedFeatureContext,
- I've put moved my own step definitions from InheritedFeatureContext to TraitedFeatureContext
- I've put class:  'TraitedFeatureContext' into behat.yml

When I do behat -dl the popup functions are listed OK, but when I run the scenario i get

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot access private property Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver::$wdSession in /home/mike/Code/features/php54_bootstrap/PopupDictionary.php on line 16

I'm not that well up on traits or the Behat code to know what to do. Any ideas?

You must use getWebDriverSession() call instead of direct access to $wdSession.

$this->getSession()->getDriver()->getWebDriverSession()->accept_alert();

I am unable to get getWebDriverSession(), please tell me what files/ dependencies should i use in my project.

I haven't used it in a long time but the outline of the file is as follows:

class InheritedFeatureContext extends Behat\MinkExtension\Context\MinkContext
{
    /**
     * @Then /^I wait for the suggestion box to appear$/
     */
    public function iWaitForTheSuggestionBoxToAppear()
    {
        print("In InheritedFeatureContext");
        $this->getSession()->wait(5000, "$('.suggestions-results').children().length > 0");
    }

    /**
     * @Given /^I confirm the popop$/
     */
    public function iConfirmThePopop()
    {
        $this->confirmPopup();
    }

    /**
     * @when /^(?:|I )cancel the popup$/
     */
    public function cancelPopup()
    {
        $this->getSession()->getDriver()->getWebDriverSession()->dismiss_alert();
    }

    /**
     * @When /^(?:|I )should see "([^"]*)" in popup$/
     *
     * @param string $message The message.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function assertPopupMessage($message)
    {
        return $message == $this->getSession()->getDriver()->getWebDriverSession()->getAlert_text();
    }

    /**
     * @When /^(?:|I )fill "([^"]*)" in popup$/
     *
     * @param string $message The message.
     */
    public function setPopupText($message)
    {
        $this->getSession()->getDriver()->getWebDriverSession()->postAlert_text(array("text" => $message));
    }

HTH.
