Alert not detected by webdriver function

[Deepa C]

Hi , 

1.  I am testing a form which creates new users. After saving all the details , alert appears with the message that "user xyz is created". 

I have following method in my junit code.  This method is called to check if alert  popped up. 

  public void checkAlert() {

   try {

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

       WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 1);

       wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());        

       System.out.println("checkAlert method- Alert is present");

       alert.accept();

   } catch (Exception e) {

       //exception handling

    System.out.println("checkAlert method- Alert is NOT present");

   }

}

  

2. When I run my junit code, I see that alert pops up . But console shows  message "checkAlert method- Alert is NOT present"

3. I need to detect this alert and grab its text for further testing. 

Can anyone please let me know why this Alert is not detected by the code ?

FYI .. Developer is using jquery colorbox to generate this alert. 

I am using selenium-2.33.0 and running my test on Firefox.

Thanks

You would need to share the html source of the section that generates the alert.

You are gobbling up the Exception and printing the message.

Perhaps you might want to add e.printStackTrace() to get a better understanding as to what caused the Exception to be raised.

Hi,

I was also facing the same problem you have to put some extra sleep / wait for element for that alert to come properly. it will resolve your issue

Thanks

try with direct cmd  driver.switchTo().alert().accept(); instead of method and let us know that alert handle or not.

As per my assumption system throwing null pointer exception for better understanding do as krishnan suggested.

Putting in sleeps is absolutely the wrong thing to do and, since there is an explicit wait there, totally pointless.

My first question is are you really waiting for an alert or is it a lightbox (I've seen some lightboxes that have been styled to look like alert boxes)?

So that kind of confirms what Mark stated. Your alert might not be an actual alert afterall and instead just be a lightbox of instead.

Thank you Mark & everyone .  Developer is using jquery plugin colorbox. 

So you are right. This is not a real alert. 

I called check_pop_up() method and it works fine.

When there is popup it says - "the colorbox pop up is displayed ?  True"

When there is NO popup it says - "the colorbox pop up is displayed ?  False"

  public void check_pop_up() {

 

 try {

Thread.sleep(2000);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

 

    System.out.println("the colorbox pop up is displayed ? " +   driver.findElement(By.id("colorbox")).isDisplayed() );

 

  }

Thanks
