WebDriverException in dismiss_alert()

Asked by Jeff Kunce

New to SST, so this could be operator error. I'm getting a WebDriverException when I do a dismiss_alert() or accept_alert(). If I wrap the dismiss_alert() in a try/except, the alert is dismissed and the test runs fine.

HTML fragment:
  <input type="button" id="aaa_button" value="click"
      onclick="alert('aaa button pressed'); return false;"
  />

SST fragment:
  click_element('aaa_button', wait=False)
  dismiss_alert()

Traceback is below.

I'd be glad to raise a bug if this looks like an SST bug and not a newbie bug :)

Thanks.

I think you are running into a bug that was recently fixed in SST.

details of my fix here: https://code.launchpad.net/~coreygoldberg/selenium-simple-test/alert-action-windowhandle

It was introduced when upgrading to selenium 2.18. this fix is available in SST trunk, but has not been released to PyPI yet.

which version of selenium package are you currently using?
if possible, upgrade to the latest selenium (> 2.18) release and run SST's trunk code.

please respond back if you need any help, and feel free to raise a bug if it persists.
