Handling alert box using AutoIT

AutoIT is a scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI. It uses simulated keystrokes, mouse movements and window manipulations.

Here we are going to use AutoIT for handling authentication boxes like below,

Step 1: 

Download the latest version of AutoIT.

Step 2: 

Write the code and Save it as 'Authentication.au3' 
(au3 is the AutoIT format)

Use the below code

WinWaitActive("Authentication Required")

Send("Username")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("Password")

Send("{ENTER}")

Step 3:

After that, right click on your Authentication.au3 file and click 'Compile Script'

This will covert your AutoIT script into an executable file

Step 4:

Now go to your Selenium code, and add the below line.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C://Path//Authentication.exe");

Handling alerts in Selenium webdriver

Handling alerts in Webdriver :

Import this package in your script.

#import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;

For accepting the alert box:

Alert al = driver.switchTo ().alert ();

al.accept ();

       

For cancelling the alert box:
Alert al = driver.switchTo ().alert ();
al.dismiss ();

For getting the text of the alert box:

Alert al = driver.switchTo ().alert ();
String s = al.getText();
System.out.println(s);

//Include this package in your script.
import java.awt.Toolkit;


//Add this snippet to your code.
 Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
 Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int)toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(),(int)toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());
driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

Setting up Selenium Web driver

Selenium is a popular open source automation tool. Working with selenium is quite easy. The advantage in selenium is you can use various programming languages like Java, C#, Ruby, Python etc.


You can use Java because it has many features and it is secured. I'm using Eclipse for developing the scripts.
