Three ways of dealing with Alert in automation(Python+Webdriver)

There are 3 ways of dealing with alert in our automation (I don't think there are only 3 ways).

The method of selenium:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("http://www.baidu.com")

driver.execute_script("alert(\"hello\")")

time.sleep(3)

alert = driver.switch_to_alert()

alert.accept()

Overwrite the alert of Javascript:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("http://www.baidu.com")

script = "window.alert = function(msg){ return true;}"

driver.execute_script(script)

driver.execute_script("alert(\"hello\")")

You will find all alert would not be pop up on this page.

Simulate keystrokes:

You have to install autopy in your python environment, and the install file at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/autopy/.

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("http://www.baidu.com")

driver.execute_script("alert(\"hello\")")

time.sleep(3)

autopy.key.tap(autopy.key.K_RETURN)
