Selenium’s Python Module is built to perform automated testing with Python. Alerts are a way to show popups in the browser for either accepting data or displaying data. Selenium provides methods to handle alerts of all kinds. class selenium.webdriver.common.alert.Alert(driver) handles all alerts in Selenium Python. It contains methods for dismissing, accepting, inputting, and getting text from alert prompts. The two major tasks in alerts are accepting an alert or dismissing a alert.

Selenium provides two methods for the same:

Alert(driver).accept()
Alert(driver).dismiss()

Alert Methods

The major methods during handling of alerts in Selenium include –

  • accept() – Accepts the alert available.
  • dismiss() – Dismisses the alert available.
  • send_keys(keysToSend) – Send Keys to the Alert.
  • text – Gets the text of the Alert.

How to operate on an alert prompt using Selenium Python ?

To illustrate alerts, let’s write manual javascript alert and check various methods on the same. We have created an example link – https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/tryit.php/WXYeMD9tD4

Python 
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.alert import Alert import time  # Create WebDriver object driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="path_to_geckodriver")   # Make sure to specify the correct path to geckodriver  # Navigate to the webpage (Ensure the URL is correct without spaces) driver.get("https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/tryit.php/WXYeMD9tD4")  # Wait for the alert to appear (you might need to adjust the time based on your page load time) time.sleep(3)  # Switch to the alert alert = Alert(driver)  # Get the alert text print(alert.text)  # Accept the alert alert.accept()  # Close the browser driver.quit()

Output –

Terminal Output –
