Selenium’s Python Module is built to perform automated testing with Python. Alerts are a way to show popups in the browser for either accepting data or displaying data. Selenium provides methods to handle alerts of all kinds. class selenium.webdriver.common.alert.Alert(driver) handles all alerts in Selenium Python. It contains methods for dismissing, accepting, inputting, and getting text from alert prompts. The two major tasks in alerts are accepting an alert or dismissing a alert.
Selenium provides two methods for the same –
Alert(driver).accept() Alert(driver).dismiss()
Alert Methods
The major methods during handling of alerts in Selenium include –
- accept() – Accepts the alert available.
- dismiss() – Dismisses the alert available.
- send_keys(keysToSend) – Send Keys to the Alert.
- text – Gets the text of the Alert.
How to operate on an alert prompt using Selenium Python ?
To illustrate alerts, let’s write manual javascript alert and check various methods on the same. We have created an example link – https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/tryit.php/WXYeMD9tD4
# import webdriverfrom selenium import webdriver # import Alert from selenium.webdriver.common.alert import Alert # create webdriver objectdriver = webdriver.Firefox() # get ide.geeksforgeeks.org # create alert objectalert = Alert(driver) # get alert textprint(alert.text) # accept the alertalert.accept() |
