Click in OK button inside an Alert (Selenium IDE)

Question

I need to click the 'Ok' button inside an alert window with a Selenium command. I've tried assertAlert or verifyAlert but they don't do what I want.

It's possible the click the 'Ok' button? If so, can someone provide me an example of the Selenium IDE command?

Answer 1

Try Selenium 2.0b1. It has different core than the first version. It should support popup dialogs according to documentation:

Popup Dialogs

Starting with Selenium 2.0 beta 1, there is built in support for handling popup dialog boxes. After you’ve triggered and action that would open a popup, you can access the alert with the following:

Java

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();

Ruby

driver.switch_to.alert

This will return the currently open alert object. With this object you can now accept, dismiss, read it’s contents or even type into a prompt. This interface works equally well on alerts, confirms, prompts. Refer to the JavaDocs for more information.
