How to work better with Browser Alerts with custom keywords?

Have you ever encountered a situation where you were unable to successfully complete activities on a browser alert because it disappeared too quickly?

If yes, then please find the custom keyword provided below

The solution is a custom keyword that you can put under the “Keywords“ folder of the Katalon Projects

KatalonAlert.groovy (6.8 KB)

Accepting Next Alert pop-up and Verify present Alert:

// Accept the next confirm popup
CustomKeywords.'KatalonAlert.acceptNextAlert'()
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/login/Button_Login'))
// Verify alert present
CustomKeywords.'KatalonAlert.handleNextAlert'()
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/login/Button_Login'))
CustomKeywords.'KatalonAlert.verifyAlertPresent'()

  1. Please note that the keyword acceptNextAlert must be called before we trigger the alert (e.g. click login button) or if you want to use a verify keyword , then you have to call one of handleNextAlert , acceptNextAlert, denyNextAlert before the alert trigger as well.

  2. There must be no delay between the alert trigger (e.g. click login button) and the verify keyword (e.g. verifyAlertPresent). For example, the below script will produce an error:

CustomKeywords.'KatalonAlert.acceptNextAlert'()
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/login/Button_Login'))
WebUI.delay(3) // Don't delay here
CustomKeywords.'KatalonAlert.verifyAlertPresent'()
