How to use _lastConfirm() API

benj0143

Hi!

How can i use _lastConfirm
to capture the message displayed on the Confirm pop up,
just like what Chejness asked in the previous posts.



For example:
As in the link in Sahi website for the "_expectConfirm" description:
click on the link: "Click for confirm dialog"
It displays: "This is an example confirm dialog. Get it?"

HOW CAN I CAPTURE THIS MESSAGE???



Thanks...

Hi benj0143,

Use :

var $a = _lastConfirm();
_alert($a);

_lastConfirm() API is used to get the text of the last occurred confirm dialog.

Hi benj0143,

I wil explain you with a script which will help you to understand how _lastConfirm() works.

First of all you need to understand that the confirm dialog will not be visible during playback.If you want to capture the message in the confirm dialog then you just have to use _lastConfirm() API.

Here is the sample script:

_navigateTo("http://sahi.co.in/demo");
_click(_link("Confirm Page"));
_click(_button("Click For Confirm"));
_expectConfirm("OK", true);
var $a = _lastConfirm();
_alert($a);
_debug($a);
_assertNotNull(_textbox("t1"));
_assertEqual("oked", _textbox("t1").value);
_click(_link("Back"));    
_click(_link("Confirm Page"));
_wait(1000);
_assertEqual("Some question?", _lastConfirm());
_clearLastConfirm();
_assertEqual(null, _lastConfirm());

You can run the above script and see what exactly is happening.

In the above script, _alert() API will alert the message which was there in the confirm dialog.

_debug() API will be visible on the window where the proxy is running unless redirected(Click on Logs on the Dashboard, here you can see the confirm dialog message).

If you want to get this message into a file then you can use _writeFile(text, filePath[, overwrite]); API.

Let me know if you have any doubts.

Hi benj0143,

Can you please be more specific about your second issue?

What is the error message you are getting? Are you getting this error on all browsers?
