WebUI.acceptAlert()

To clarify, this is happening when there are two alerts in a row and no wait time in between in the code. Adding a wait or waitForAngularLoad (for our website) fixed the issue. However, Katalon should retry the command or at least fail immediately if not retrying.

is this still not solved?

Hi all,

We’ve added this as a ticket and will investigate it. It will be fixed soon once we’ve figured out the root cause and fix it
