Pop-ups during wait

Miscellaneous
1

Hi Experts, need advice
This is my scenario → I run a process/job and it takes, for e.g., 10min. to complete
Hence, I had given WebUI.delay(600)
And process/job is running in the background

Now, during this 10min. wait, if the application [AUT] remains idle say for 5min., then at 6th min., a pop-up is thrown, asking to extend the idle time or else system will automatically log-off in the next 2min.

Can anyone let me know how to handle this kind of pop-ups ?

Many Thanks

Step 1: Create a Custom Keyword (e.g., PopupHandler.groovy)

Create this under
Keywords > utils > PopupHandler.groovy

package utils

import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import com.kms.katalon.core.util.KeywordUtil

class PopupHandler {

    /**
     * Continuously checks for a pop-up every few seconds
     * and dismisses it if found.
     * Runs in a separate thread.
     */
    static void monitorPopups(int intervalSeconds = 10) {
        Thread.start {
            while (true) {
                try {
                    if (WebUI.waitForAlert(intervalSeconds)) {
                        KeywordUtil.logInfo("Pop-up detected! Accepting alert...")
                        WebUI.acceptAlert()
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // Ignore if no alert appears
                }
                // Small delay before checking again
                Thread.sleep(intervalSeconds * 1000)
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 2: Call It at the Start of Your Test Case

import utils.PopupHandler
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

// Start monitoring in background
PopupHandler.monitorPopups(10)

// Start your main long-running process
WebUI.openBrowser('')
WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://your-webapp-url')

// Example: waiting or running background process
WebUI.delay(600) // simulate 10-minute process

WebUI.closeBrowser()

Hope it’s only for one off test case.. not for all scenario
