In Selenium, handling alerts and popups (like JavaScript alerts, confirms, and prompts) involves switching the driver's focus to the alert window and interacting with it using the Alert interface.

Types of Alerts in Selenium:

  1. Simple Alert – shows a message with an "OK" button.

  2. Confirmation Alert – has "OK" and "Cancel" options.

  3. Prompt Alert – includes a text box for user input.

How to Handle Alerts:

First, switch to the alert:

1. Accept the alert (click OK):

2. Dismiss the alert (click Cancel on confirm dialog):

3. Get the alert text:

4. Send text to a prompt alert:

Handling Unexpected Popups:

  • Use explicit waits (WebDriverWait) to wait for alerts.

  • Handle exceptions like NoAlertPresentException to avoid test crashes.

Handling alerts properly ensures stable test execution and allows automation scripts to interact seamlessly with dynamic browser behaviors.
