iOS Alerts

Alert capabilities allow you to configure an auto accept/dismiss of iOS popup alerts. This comes in handy when you wish to avoid having tests fail because alerts and popups prevented the driver from recognizing and interacting with elements in the app.

info

Supported for iOS 9 and above.

Name	Possible Values	Notes
autoAcceptAlerts	true / false Default: false	OK/Allow/Accept The alert popup will be accepted and disappear immediately on any element related consecutive operation which is executed after the popup appeared
autoDismissAlerts	true / false Default: false	Dismiss/Don't allow/Close/Cancel/Not now/...Later The alert popup will be dismissed and disappeared immediately on any element related consecutive operation which is executed after the popup appearing

info

Replace "autoAcceptAlerts" with "autoDismissAlerts" to dismiss alerts

Java

public void test() throws MalformedURLException {
	IOSDriver<IOSElement> driver = null;

    DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
    dc.setCapability("app", app);
    dc.setCapability("autoAcceptAlerts", true);
    driver = new IOSDriver<>(new URL(<server>), dc);

	// clicking on this button will cause a popup alert with "Don't allow" and "OK" buttons to appear
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton']")).click();

	// clicking on a button behind the popup alert will cause the popup to disappear
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton'][3]")).click();
}

Python

def test():
	dc = {}
	self.dc['platformName'] = 'ios'
	self.dc['app'] = app
	self.dc['autoAcceptAlerts'] = True
	self.driver = webdriver.Remote(<server>, self.dc)


	# // clicking on this button will cause a popup alert with "Don't allow" and "OK" buttons to appear
	self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpath=//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton']")


	# // clicking on a button behind the popup alert will cause the popup to disappear
	self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("xpath=//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton[3]']")

C Sharp

public void test() throws MalformedURLException {
	IOSDriver<IOSElement> driver = null;

    DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
    dc.SetCapability("app", app);
    dc.SetCapability("autoAcceptAlerts", true);
    driver = new IOSDriver<>(new URL(<server>), dc);

	// clicking on this button will cause a popup alert with "Don't allow" and "OK" buttons to appear
    driver.FindElement(By.xpath("//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton']")).Click();

	// clicking on a button behind the popup alert will cause the popup to disappear
    driver.FindElement(By.xpath("//*[@XCElementType='XCUIElementTypeButton'][3]")).Click();
