How can I interact with this modal dialog using Webdriver & Python?
All I want is to close a modal dialog, ideally by doing the following:
browser.find_element_by_link_text("OK").click()
Gives NoSuchElementException: Message: u'The element could not be found' for the OK link text.
Same for the xpath when I do this:
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id=\"modal\"]/div/div[2]/div/a").click()
I suspect this is because I need to put focus on the dialog. To do so I've tried:
for handle in browser.window_handles:
browser.switch_to_window(handle)
if browser.find_element_by_class_name('popUp123')
browser.find_element_by_link_text("OK").click()
Gives NoSuchElementException: Message: u'The element could not be found' for the class.
Have also tried browser.switch_to_frame(ID OR NAME), but couldn't find it as a frame either.
Please tell me I'm missing something blatantly obvious.
Relevant frame source (summarised):
<body id="modal">
<div class="popUp123">
<div class="button">
<div class="centerbutton">
<a href="#" class="close" onclick=parent.close">
<span>OK</span>
Answer
This is the python syntax
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
browser = WebDriver()
# do other stuff here
browser.switch_to_alert().accept()
# continue with other stuff here
The alert api is located in selenium.webdriver.common.alert
