The Dialog Object

Dialog objects are dispatched by browser via the browser.on('dialog') event.

An example of using the Dialog object:

import { browser } from '@wdio/globals'

await browser.url('https://webdriver.io')
browser.on('dialog', async (dialog) => {
    console.log(dialog.message()) // outputs: "Hello Dialog"
    await dialog.dismiss()
})

await browser.execute(() => alert('Hello Dialog'))

note

Dialogs are dismissed automatically, unless there is at least one browser.on('dialog') or browser.once('dialog') listener. When a listener is present, it must either dialog.accept() or dialog.dismiss() the dialog - otherwise the page will freeze waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.

Mobile native dialogs

Browser dialog events are not emitted for native iOS/Android permission dialogs. Handle those with browser.acceptDialog and browser.dismissDialog instead.
