Alert Popup

Prompts will have prompt text, Input text box, Ok and Cancel buttons.

Selenium webdriver software testing tool has Its own Alert Interface to handleall above different popups.Alert Interface has different methods like accept(), dismiss(), getText(),

 sendKeys(java.lang.String keysToSend) and we can use all these methods to perform different 

actions on popups.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;

public class unexpected_alert {

 WebDriver driver;

 @BeforeTest

 public void setup() throws Exception {

  driver =new FirefoxDriver();     

  driver.manage().window().maximize();

  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

  driver.get("http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.in/2014/01/textbox.html");

 }

 @AfterTest

 public void tearDown() throws Exception {

  driver.quit();

 }

 @Test

 public void Text() throws InterruptedException {

  //Alert Pop up Handling.

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Show Me Alert']")).click();

  //To locate alert.

  Alert A1 = driver.switchTo().alert();

  Thread.sleep(2000);

  //To accept/Click Ok on alert popup.

  A1.accept();

  

  //Confirmation Pop up Handling.

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@onclick='myFunction()']")).click();

  Alert A2 = driver.switchTo().alert();

  String Alert2 = A2.getText();
