acceptAlert

Accept the user prompt (alert, confirm or prompt) that is open in this browsing context. Prompts in other tabs stay open.

WebdriverIO dismisses prompts automatically unless something listens to the dialog event, so register a listener first. In a listener you can also answer with the dialog object directly.

Usage

const context = await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
await context.acceptAlert(userText)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
userText optional	string	text to enter into a prompt

Example

acceptAlert.js

it('accepts a confirm in a background tab', async () => {
    browser.on('dialog', () => {}) // keep prompts open
    await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
    const tab = await browser.newWindow('https://webdriver.io', { type: 'tab' })

    const opened = new Promise((resolve) => browser.once('dialog', resolve))
    await tab.execute(() => setTimeout(() => window.confirm('Continue?')))
    await opened
    await tab.acceptAlert()
})
