How to capture the alert message in Selenium IDE Empty How to capture the alert message in Selenium IDE

Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:29 pm
I am stuck with capturing the alert message.

The Scenario is:

I have a form with input fields like CaseType(listbox), Lab(listbox), LastName(txtbox), FirstName(txtbox)... along with couple of other fields as well.

After entering all the fields, i click on Proceed button to submit the form.
When i click on Proceed button, an alert triggers with a message saying
"Case successfully submitted with Number: SLPS2009-123456". with an OK button.

So, now I have to verify that the alert has triggered and also i have to capture the entire message for using in the next pages.

I am really stuck with verifying and capturing the message through Selenium IDE.
I tried by using getAlert, assertAlert, assertAlertPresent.

But none of the things worked for me.

Can anyone pls put some light on my query....??? would really appreciate ur kind help.

hi,

First of all welcome to this forum and thanks to post your query. Now lets move to your query.

1. to get the text of your alert box, use any of the following commands:

storeAlert | variableName |
storeConfirmation | variableName |

then use the value like : $variableName. This command will also click on OK button automatically.

2. to verify your alert use this:
storeAlertPresent(variableName)

3. There is one more command present, If you want to click on cancel button instead of OK button:
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation()

To get information related to all functions avaliable in selenium, check out this link:
http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/0.8.0/reference.html


Best of luck.

Bye

I recorded a script with alerts. the Selenium IDE save the command assertAlert with the message of that alert in target.
When I play this script this command fails and the button OK isn't pressed!

How to do this? Pls provide me some workaround.
How I can replace assertAlert with another command that works?

How to capture the alert message in Selenium IDE Empty Re: How to capture the alert message in Selenium IDE

Selenium's IDE browserbot captures alerts. AFAIK The reason why alerts are not captured is because the browserbot isn't set until the onLoad() event has occurred, so any alerts that occur before this event aren't captured and then the popup appears.


So the solution is to be sure that browserbot is set before the alert occurs. Googling I found 2 solutions:


option 1) set a timeout - the one which I use and it works

SO:


alert(..)



PUT:



function delayAlert() {
alert(...);
}


window.setTimeout("delayAlert()",1000)





option 2) put this capturing code before the alert:


var browserbot = parent.selenium.browserbot;
if (browserbot) {
browserbot.modifyWindowToRecordPopUpDialogs(window, browserbot);
}
alert("Alert message after those selenium workaround js snippet");







BTW the IDE commands I use are:

waitForAlertPresent |
storeAlert | alerta
echo | ${alerta}


OR
waitForAlertPresent |
assertAlert | "your alert message"


hope it helps

Here i'm placing the sample[solution] for above questions...

For example when logout has a confirmation :
you may follow in this sequence :

selenium.chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation();
selenium.click("link=Logout");
String are = selenium.getConfirmation();
System.out.println(are);

I hope the above will be understood by the who r working on selenium rc.using junit3.

Thank you,
