Alert Actions

Alerts are dialog boxes that appear in the browser to notify or prompt the user. SHAFT provides the AlertActions class to interact with these dialogs.

Accessing Alert Actions

Use driver.alert() to access alert actions:

AlertAccess.java

driver.alert().acceptAlert();

acceptAlert()

Accepts the currently displayed alert dialog (equivalent to clicking "OK").

AcceptAlert.java

driver.alert().acceptAlert();

dismissAlert()

Dismisses the currently displayed alert dialog (equivalent to clicking "Cancel").

DismissAlert.java

driver.alert().dismissAlert();

getAlertText()

Retrieves the text message displayed in the currently active alert dialog.

GetAlertText.java

String alertMessage = driver.alert().getAlertText();

typeIntoPromptAlert()

Types text into a prompt alert dialog before accepting or dismissing it.

TypeIntoPrompt.java

driver.alert().typeIntoPromptAlert("your text");

isAlertPresent()

Checks whether an alert dialog is currently present on the page. Returns true if an alert is present, false otherwise.

IsAlertPresent.java

boolean alertPresent = driver.alert().isAlertPresent();
