How getAlert() works

[kairei]

Hi

i am using getAlert() method of webdriverBackedSelenium.java

and notice the note of the method is this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Getting an alert has the same effect as manually clicking OK.
If an alert is generated but you do not consume it with getAlert,
the next Selenium action will fail.
---------------------------------------------------------------

the code is this:
---------------------------------------------------------------
public String getAlert() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("getAlert");
}
---------------------------------------------------------------

but i don't understand how the getAlert() click the [OK] button,
do i need to write extra code ?

Best Regards

Short answer: it's not implemented yet. Long answer: I'm waiting for
the webdriver api to support getting alerts before using that to
handle alerts in the selenium emulation.

Hi Simon

Thanks for you help.

I am stuck by the Alert Dialog in the firefox testing,
could you give me some suggestion to resolve the
problem?

like this:
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept

or run javascript?

Best Regards.
