Task at Hand: I need to display the alert on my page for a few seconds to allow reading. Is there any function in Selenium Web-driver that can help with this?
I am new to automation and have been learning about explicit waits. I tried using explicit wait in the code below, but it doesn't show the alert for the required duration.
Here is the snippet of my code:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
JavaScriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("username"))).clear();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("username"))).sendKeys(username);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("password"))).clear();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("password"))).sendKeys(password);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("Login"))).click();
String det1 = driver.findElement(By.id(elem id)).getText();
String det2 = driver.findElement(By.id(elem id)).getText();
String det3 = driver.findElement(By.id(elem id)).getText();
String det4 = driver.findElement(By.id(elem id)).getText();
js.executeScript("window.alert('Values are..'"+det1+" "+det2+" "+det3+" "+det4+"'')");
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
The code above works well in displaying my values in the alert, however, the alert appears and disappears very quickly. How can I make the alert stay visible for a few seconds before closing automatically?
