How to Handle the Alert on Chrome Using Selenium Basic. Getting Run Time Error

[AnkitKabra20]

Hello Users,

Please help me out in getting out of this trouble. I am getting an run time error when alert appears

'On Error Resume Next driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.Manage.DeleteAllCookies 'driver.Window.Maximize

driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts" driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(3) > button").Click Set dlg = driver.SwitchToAlert(Raise:=False)

Un-commenting On Error Resume Next handles the popup but alert cannot be handled.

On Error Resume Next driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts" driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(3) > button").Click Set dlg = driver.SwitchToAlert(Raise:=False)

Assert.False dlg Is Nothing, "No alert present!" Assert.Equals "I am a JS Confirm", dlg.Text

' Close alert dlg.Accept

driver.SwitchToAlert.Accept

Here's what I have, which works for my set up. For me the error number for alerts is 26, but maybe you need to change to 13.

On Error GoTo Handler Handler: If Err.Number = 26 Then driver.SwitchToAlert().Accept End If

I tried but it didn't work. It got stuck and doing nothing. What is your chrome version ?

Public Function Host_Test_App()

'** ' FUNCTION FOR BROWSING THE APPLICATION '** On Error Goto Handler driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.Manage.DeleteAllCookies 'driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts" driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(1) > button").Click

Handler: If Err.Number = 26 Then driver.SwitchToAlert().Accept End If Resume Next

End Function

Oh sorry I also have a Continue: at the end. So:

On Error GoTo Handler Handler: If Err.Number = 26 Then driver.SwitchToAlert().Accept End If Continue:

[AnkitKabra20]

Tried with Continue it did not work either. Its not doing any thing

Afterwards getting an error message

[dpgalloway]

Hmm. Put the "On Error GoTo Handler" right above the "Handler:" line. And also add another step after the Continue: line. It can be anything, like just clicking somewhere on the page.

[AnkitKabra20]

Tried By Putting additional line right after continue. Its doing nothing just stuck

Afterwards getting an error message

[dpgalloway]

Put "On Error GoTo Handler" right above "Handler:" and right under the "....Click" line

[dpgalloway]

If it's at the top like that it's not going to be called after the .Click step

[AnkitKabra20]

Please let me know if the code should be like this

Public Function Host_Test_App()

'** ' FUNCTION FOR BROWSING THE APPLICATION '**

driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.Manage.DeleteAllCookies 'driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts"

On Error GoTo Handler Handler: driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(1) > button").Click If Err.Number = 26 Or 13 Then driver.SwitchToAlert.Accept End If Continue: MsgBox driver.FindElementById("result").Attribute("innerHTML")

' Display alert

End Function

Do it this way:

Public Function Host_Test_App()

'** ' FUNCTION FOR BROWSING THE APPLICATION '**

driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.Manage.DeleteAllCookies 'driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts" driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(1) > button").Click

On Error GoTo Handler Handler: If Err.Number = 26 Then driver.SwitchToAlert.Accept End If Continue: MsgBox driver.FindElementById("result").Attribute("innerHTML")

' Display alert

End Function

[AnkitKabra20]

I did the same way you told. Its stuck and not doing any thing. and got the time out

[dpgalloway]

Your missing parentheses on SwitchToAlert. I'm not sure if that matters but try this:

Public Function Host_Test_App()

'** ' FUNCTION FOR BROWSING THE APPLICATION '**

driver.Start "chrome", "http://www.google.com" driver.Manage.DeleteAllCookies 'driver.SetCapability "unexpectedAlertBehaviour", "ignore" driver.Get "http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts" driver.FindElementByCss("#content > div > ul > li:nth-child(1) > button").Click

On Error GoTo Handler Handler: If Err.Number = 26 Then driver.SwitchToAlert().Accept End If Continue: MsgBox driver.FindElementById("result").Attribute("innerHTML")

' Display alert

End Function

It doesn't matter as it results the same. Are you making it done on your system. What version of chrome browser and extension you are using. May be I should look into that from that perspective.

Issue is Not with the Code but with the Chrome Driver. As from my org Stand Point Fire Fox Versions are blocked to 52.0 so I was getting the following error when launching the chrome

This Problem got fixed if I switched the for the older chromedriver version i.e 2.24 from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

Alert Issue also got resolved.

Driver.SwitchToAlert().Accept

is working now
