Handling Alert with UIAutomation

Question

I\'m trying to test the presence of an UIAlertView with UIAutomation but my handler never gets called.

At the beginning of my javascript i write :

UI

The documentation seems to be wrong. It turns out that alerts are handled on the same thread your script tries to run. So if you want the alert handler to be called, you need to sleep, e.g.,

UIATarget.onAlert = { ... }
window.buttons().triggerAlertButton.tap();
UIATarget.localTarget().delay(4);

Also, it appears that the alert's name and value are always set to null. I was, however, able to access the first static text which contained the alert's title.
