I'm trying to get an url with selenium and node.js, but when the site has an alert I can't accept it on Internet Explorer.
index.js
require('iedriver');
const express = require('express');
const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
let ie = require('selenium-webdriver/ie');
function start(params) {
start_server();
let options = new ie.Options();
options.ignoreZoomSetting(true);
let driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser('internet explorer')
.withCapabilities(options)
.build();
let site="http://127.0.0.1:3000/";
driver.get(site)
.then(()=>{
return driver.wait(webdriver.until.alertIsPresent(),10000)
.then(()=>{
let alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
return alert.accept()
console.log("go on");
})
})
;
}
const start_server=()=>{
const app = express();
const PORT = 3000;
app.use(express.static('static'));
app.get('/', function(req, res){
let options = {
root: path.join(__dirname+"/../static/")
};
let fileName = 'index.html';
res.sendFile(fileName, options, function (err) {
if (err) {
log(err);
} else {
console.log('Sent:', fileName);
}
});
});
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});
};
start();
The site to open has an alert when page is loading, like this:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<script src="loading.js"></script>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
loading.js
alert("accept before start");
This has to work on Internet Explorer.
When running , after 5 minutes it shows this
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TimeoutError: Timed out waiting for page to load.
at Object.throwDecodedError (C:\d\adhoc\node\copyimgwz\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\error.js:517:15)
at parseHttpResponse (C:\d\adhoc\node\copyimgwz\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\http.js:642:13)
and stops like this
blocking alert on ie with selenium
Please, any idea how to accept that alert with selenium?
EDIT
I found out a solution, adding this line it's already working fine
options.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings(true);
I was able to make it work, adding this line
options.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings(true);
in this section
let options = new ie.Options();
options.ignoreZoomSetting(true);
options.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings(true);
Aparently, On internet explorer you need to activate this characteristic to let you work.
