How to click and verify the existence of a pop up (alert)

Question

I\'m working with selenium. while trying to click a button it creates a pop up (alert) and doesn’t return a page object. Because of that I can’t use “click” alone as this me

Answer 1

for an alert you will need to use either

getAlert() call which will click ok on the alert. It will return the text in the alert as well so you can check its the alert that you want.

so an example would be

self.assertEqual("An alert",selenium.get_alert());
