How to handle browser javascript confirm navigation warning with ruby watir script
I would like to programmatically handle a javascript validation notification asking if you want to leave the page (see screenshot below).
The methods I have tried so far have not worked.
The browser doesn't recognize that I'm returning true in order to leave the page.
This is the part where I am trying to handle this warning:
if @b.div(:class, "infoMessageBox error").present?
puts "There was an error"
#@b.execute_script("window.confirm = function() {return true}")
@b.execute_script("window.onbeforeunload = function() {};")
@b.goto("#{@env}/TranslateFile.aspx")
break
end
I also read this article: " Reject & Confirm Navigation" Popup with Watir ", but the method in this article does not help in my case.
I would suggest some kind of help because I am stuck here.
IT WILL HELP in solving my problem.
I have improved the code and it works better now, but some other problems may arise in the future (hopefully not).
@b.refresh
if @b.alert.exists?
@b.alert.text
@b.alert.ok
end
@b.goto("#{@env}/TranslateFile.aspx")
This worked for me and now it escapes the warning and continues the workflow. Thanks for the help!:)
Additional information for those who may have problems handling warnings (link is located below):
# Check if alert is shown

# Cancel confirm
browser.alert.close
JAVASCRIPT PROMPT
# Enter text to prompt
browser.alert.set "Prompt answer"
# Accept prompt
browser.alert.ok
# Cancel prompt
browser.alert.close
# don't return anything for alert
browser.execute_script("window.alert = function() {}")
# return some string for prompt to simulate user entering it
browser.execute_script("window.prompt = function() {return 'my name'}")
# return null for prompt to simulate clicking Cancel
browser.execute_script("window.prompt = function() {return null}")
# return true for confirm to simulate clicking OK
browser.execute_script("window.confirm = function() {return true}")
# return false for confirm to simulate clicking Cancel
browser.execute_script("window.confirm = function() {return false}")
# don't return anything for leave page popup
browser.execute_script("window.onbeforeunload = null")
