dismissAlert

Dismiss the user prompt (alert, confirm or prompt) that is open in this browsing context, like pressing "Cancel". Prompts in other tabs stay open.

WebdriverIO dismisses prompts automatically unless something listens to the dialog event, so register a listener first when you want to answer yourself.

Usage

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

Example

dismissAlert.js

it('dismisses a confirm in one tab only', async () => {
    browser.on('dialog', () => {}) // keep prompts open
    const page = await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')

    const opened = new Promise((resolve) => browser.once('dialog', resolve))
    await page.execute(() => setTimeout(() => window.confirm('Leave?')))
    await opened
    await page.dismissAlert()
})
