Question

How can I handle Javascript Alert popup using Ruby Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Hey Usman, you can use driver.switch_to.alert method to handle the javascript alert popup. This method switches the focus from default window to Javascript alert popup, so that necessary action can be done. Checkout the following example to understand better:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

driver.get 'http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts'
driver.find_elements(css: 'button')[1].click

alert_popup = driver.switch_to.alert
alert_popup.accept

result = driver.find_element(id: 'result').text
expect(result).to eql('You clicked: Ok')
