How to handle Alerts in Selenium WebDriver

In this video, I have shown how to handle Alerts in Selenium WebDriver.
Selenium WebDriver is an open-source tool for automated testing of web apps across many browsers.
WebDriver provides an API for working with the three types of native popup messages offered by JavaScript. These popups are styled by the browser and offer limited customization.
1) Alerts (Simple Alerts)
The simplest of all javascript popups is referred to as an alert, which shows a custom message, and a single button that dismisses the alert, labeled in most browsers as OK. It can also be dismissed in most browsers by pressing the close button, but this will always do the same thing as the OK button.
WebDriver can get the text from the popup and accept or dismiss these alerts.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("alertBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Store the alert text in a variable
String text = alert.getText();
//Press the OK button
alert.accept();
2) Confirm (Confirmation Alerts)
A confirm box is similar to an alert, except the user can also choose to cancel the message.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("confirmBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Store the alert text in a variable
String text = alert.getText();
//Press the Cancel button
alert.dismiss();
3) Prompt (Prompt Alerts)
Prompts are similar to confirm boxes, except they also include a text input. Similar to working with form elements, you can use WebDriver’s send keys to fill in a response. This will completely replace the placeholder text. Pressing the cancel button will not submit any text.
------- Example -------
//navigate to the website
driver.get("www.hyrtutorials.com/p/alerts...");
//Click the link to activate the alert
driver.findElement(By.id("promptBox")).click();
//Wait for the alert to be displayed and store it in a variable
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//Type your message
alert.sendKeys("Hello Tester");
//Press the OK button
alert.accept();
The operations that we can perform on these popups using selenium are,
1) Accept - Refers to clicking on the Ok button.
2) Dismiss - Refers to clicking on the Cancel button.
3) SendKeys - Refers to entering text into a textbox available in the prompt box.
4) GetText - Refers to get the label text present on the popup box.

After interacting with the alert how to return focus on the main window?

[@HYRTutorials]

It automatically happens buddy

[@kkartkk9372]

Hi
Thanks for the video.
I have a query
For the prompt alert a default text was displayed in the website.so unable to clear the text and type the text thru sendkeys method.
Could you please explain on how to resolve this?
Also is there any method to read the default text from the prompt alert

[@HYRTutorials]

No need to clear the text.
when u enter the text using sendkeys method, it automatically clears the old one and enters new text.

[@kkartkk9372]

@@HYRTutorials t
Thanks for the response.
I tried the method sendkeys but it's not working .also pl tell me how to read the default text in that box

[@HYRTutorials]

@@kkartkk9372 sendkeys method will actually enter the text into that prompt but in the ui u can't c d difference.
We can't get the text present inside that textbox but we can get the message text.

[@ManiKandan-vo2qr]

Can we handle this alert using the Driver capabilities as i could see there is method called "setUnhandledPromptBehaviour" . Please let me know

[@HYRTutorials]

The alerts are supposed to be handled programmatically bcz every alert is having a purpose or meaning to it.

[@dev9559]

what if we have multiple text boxes in alert?

[@HYRTutorials]

Mostly it won't be there buddy because that's how the alerts are designed

[@ankitshrivastava1772]

In Propmt alert "Yada Giri Reddy" is already present and in my script when i use sendkeys the it not working.

[@HYRTutorials]

We don't see the change of text but after clicking on ok button, you can see whether the name is updated or not from the label

[@kiranbabuchava7390]

Hi Reddy, Any Rest assured API testing?

[@HYRTutorials]

Nope, atleast not in next 3 months

[@HYRTutorials]

oh yeah. nice observation

[@yeliza2350]

27 February ...it s done🌍

[@HYRTutorials]

Thankyou 😊

[@ayajshiekh3205]

Why we are not using
Alert a= new Alert(driver)

[@HYRTutorials]

You can use that as well.
Here I'm not using it because I m performing only a single action on the alert. So we don't need to store the instance of that alert

[@vinayakmore7030]

Hi..We have similar requirement... Could you please modify your program,,,Instead of manually clicking click me button..we need to listen the website and website will send confirmation box to click Yes/No button We need to act on those button...no need to close the browser..Program will wait for next alert..How to do this?

[@HYRTutorials]

in order to do that we need to run some infinite loop and listen to the event buddy.
