Selenium - Chrome unexpected alert open-CodePudding

Running the following code with headless Selenium I keep getting:

while True:
time.sleep(5)
try:
    driver.get(URL)
    driver.execute_script("window.alert = function() {};")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 70).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//span[@data-testid="send"]'))).click()
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

I tried to debug this screenshotting headless Selenium but I can't see any alerts at all.

I keep getting:

Alert Text: {Alert text : Message: unexpected alert open: {Alert text : }

CodePudding user response：

The below line instructs the browser to display an alert because of which you are getting 'Unexpected alert' exception.

 driver.execute_script("window.alert = function() {};")

It is not possible to take the screenshot from selenium while the alert is displayed in the browser, you will get exception.

CodePudding user response：

You have to handle alert first. And then do your click.

try:
    WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.alert_is_present())  # this will wait 5 seconds for alert to appear
    alert = browser.switch_to.alert  # or self.driver.switch_to_alert() depends on your selenium version
    alert.accept()
except TimeoutException:
    pass
WebDriverWait(driver, 70).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//span[@data-testid="send"]'))).click()
