How to handle the alert that appears during closing the popup window.

[munee...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem.

There is a main window and a popup window. If I enter some invalid data in the popup window, an alert appears. What I have done is I have accepted the alert and I have tried to close the popup window, there the problem comes,  I have tried using Javascript window.close to  close the popup, but what happening is the same alert appears again. I could not able to handle the alert. I have used Javascript to close because using driver.close() is triggering  a (Yes and no alert) which driver is not able to handle.

I have used onbeforeunload also, but the alert about the invalid data still comes when I try to close the popupwindow..

Another question, I am using selenium server stand alone jar. What does the java client driver jar does actually? Do I need to use the java client driver jar also? I have tried to understand but I could not. A brief explanation would suffice.

Thank you.

I cant really visualize your problem code along with screenshot will be helpful

Hi ASP,

May be I was complicating the problem. I would like to know what needs to be done to suppress the alert which would occur when you try to close the window. How to handle Javascript's window onclose event using WebDriver?

Example: When I enter some invalid data in a text box in the popup window, due to the element level validation, an invalid data alert appears. What I need to do is I need fail the test case, and I have to close this popup so that I would let the next test case to run successfully. If I didn't handle this then all the test case which are after the test case will not run.

When I use ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.close()");
//the next block of the code.

In the above when the first line gets executed, invalid data alert appears and the next block of the code does not get executed, it just hangs.

If I use the simple driver.close(), two alerts appear.

1. The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window.(yes and no)

2. Invalid data alert

The code is hanging in both the cases.

Thanks,
Muneer.

Looks like you wann click ok cancel on alert box 

try this 

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

alert.accept();

or 

alert.dismiss();

I have tried it already and it is not working.

[ASP]

is it a public website ? or some site that mimics same thing u r doing ?

If it was one, I would have shared the link, code and reproduction steps. :(

As of now I am doing a workaround. I am deleting the entered data in an element in the popup window which is causing the alert to appear. Once the data is deleted then no alert appears, I can simply close the popup window, fail the test case and run the next test case. :-)

What does a user do to avoid it?  That is what your code should be doing.

Hi driverlearner,

So, let me summarize your problem:

- an invalid data was entered to field(s) on a pop-up window.

- field data validator fires when you try to close that pop-up

- accepting/dissmissing the validator alert closes that alert; pop-up is not closed

- when you try to close pop-up, field data validator fires again.

If I understand your problem correct, then I would suggest the following scenario:

1) perform your actions with a pop-up window.

2) try to close it

3) check, if it is closed

3.1) if not - fill in correct data or just clear all your fields (if it is valid combination); close pop-up

3.2) if it is closed - go to next step/test case

Selenium interact with a web page just like a user. So if user has no ability to close window without entering correct data, Selenium shouldn't be able also.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. That is exactly what I had done as a workaround.

Hi Ripon,

Thanks for your quick response,

but I have already tried it , it is giving No alert Present Exception.

[Ripon Al Wasim]

Hi,

The presence of exception means, there is no alert present. So, you have to use a boolean check. The snippet of code is as below:

public boolean isAlertPresent(){

try{

driver.switchTo().alert();

return true;

}//try

catch(Exception e){

return false;

}//catch

}

Now, use the following code to accept or dismiss. You should use neither accept nor dismiss:

if(isAlertPresent() == true){

driver.switchTo().alert();

//to accept

driver.switchTo().alert().accept();

//or, to dismiss

driver.switchTo().alert().dismiss();

}
