Selenium c# accept confirm box

Question

I have written an nUnit test using selenium in c#.

All was going well until I have to confirm a JS confirm box.

here is the code I am using:

Answer 1

The end point I am testing does not have reliable response times and the only way I could get it to always work with webdriver selenium-dotnet-2.33.0 (.NET4) using Firefox was by doing the following:

private void acceptAlert(){
string alertText = "";
IAlert alert = null;
while (alertText.Equals("")){
if (alert == null)
{
try{
alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
}
catch{ 
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50); }
}
else{
try{
alert.Accept();
alertText = alert.Text;
}
catch (Exception ex){
if (ex.Message.Equals("No alert is present")) alertText = "Already Accepted";
else System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50);
}
}
}
}

Answer 2

in this issue i would try to verify confirm box presence. it be something like:

this.driver.FindElement(By.Id("submitButton")).Click();


 boolean presentFlag = false;

  try {

   // Check the presence of alert
   Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
   // Alert present; set the flag
   presentFlag = true;
   // if present consume the alert
   alert.accept();

  } catch (NoAlertPresentException ex) {
   // Alert not present
   ex.printStackTrace();
  }

  return presentFlag;

 }

then if doen't work. try to debug step by step. some additional info concerning alert ( confirm boxes) handle in selenium here hope this somehow helps you

You just need:

 IAlert alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
 alert.Accept();
