getAlertText

Get the message of the user prompt (alert, confirm or prompt) that is open in this browsing context. Rejects with no such alert when none is open.

WebdriverIO dismisses prompts automatically unless something listens to the dialog event, so register a listener first.

Usage

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

Example

getAlertText.js

it('reads the message of a prompt', 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.alert('Saved')))
    await opened
    console.log(await page.getAlertText()) // outputs: "Saved"
    await page.acceptAlert()
})

Returns

• <string> return: the prompt message
