💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'alert' without parentheses returns the property, not the alert object.

Trying to call a non-existent method like 'alert_box()'.

The correct method to switch to an alert in Selenium Python is driver.switch_to.alert(). This returns the alert object so you can interact with it.

Complete the code to accept the alert and prevent test failure.

Selenium Python

alert.[1]()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aaccept

Bdismiss

Cclose

Dsend_keys

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'dismiss()' which cancels the alert instead of accepting it.

Trying to use 'close()' which is not a valid alert method.

Calling accept() on the alert confirms it and closes the alert box, preventing test failure due to unhandled alerts.

hard

Fix the error in the code to handle alert text correctly.

Selenium Python

alert_text = alert.[1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Atext

Bget_text()

Ctext()

DgetText()

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'text()' or 'get_text()' which cause errors because they are not methods.

Using Java-style 'getText()' which is invalid in Python.

The alert text is accessed as a property text without parentheses in Selenium Python.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check if alert is present and accept it.

Selenium Python

try:
    alert = driver.switch_to.[1]()
    alert.[2]()
except:
    pass

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'dismiss()' instead of 'accept()' which may not be intended.

Trying to use a non-existent 'alert_box()' method.

Use driver.switch_to.alert() to get the alert, then accept() to confirm it and prevent test failure.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to get alert text, accept alert, and print the text.

Selenium Python

alert = driver.switch_to.[1]()
alert_text = alert.[2]
alert.[3]()
print(alert_text)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'dismiss()' instead of 'accept()' which cancels alert.

Trying to call 'text()' as a method instead of property.

First, get the alert object with alert(). Then access its text property. Finally, call accept() to close the alert and print the text.
