How can I automate alerts using Selenium WebDriver?

You can automate alerts in Selenium WebDriver using the Alert interface. First, switch to the alert, then you can accept, dismiss, or retrieve the alert text.

Can you show me a code example for accepting an alert?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Java:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://example.com");

// Trigger the alert
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("alertButton"));
button.click();

// Switch to alert and accept it
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();

What if I want to dismiss the alert instead?

You can dismiss the alert by calling the dismiss() method instead of accept(). Here's how:

alert.dismiss();

Is there a way to get the text from the alert?

Yes! You can retrieve the text using the getText() method. For example:

String alertText = alert.getText();
System.out.println(alertText);
