How to Handle PopUp in Selenium

Many application has some pop up for display some success or failure message to user. We need to handle that types of pop up in script.

There are three types of pop Up.

1. Web based pop up
2. Alert message
3. Window based pop up

How to handle web based Pop Up

Web based pop up can be handle using WindowHandle or SwitchToFrame command. First we need to identify type of pop up. 
If pop up is other window than we need to use WindowHandle command.
If pop up is just frame than we need to use SwitchToFrame command.

Using WindowHandle

  String vBaseWindowHande = driver.getWindowHandle();
  Set<String> vWindowHandles = driver.getWindowHandles();
  
  for(String temp : vWindowHandles)
  {
   driver.switchTo().window(temp);
  }
  
  // Code for Popup
  
  driver.close();
  driver.switchTo().window(vBaseWindowHande);

Using SwitchToFrame

  String vBaseWindowHande = driver.getWindowHandle();
  driver.switchTo().frame("Name of Frame");
  
  // Code for popup
  
  driver.switchTo().window(vBaseWindowHande);

How to handle Alert Message

Po pup type is alert then we have to use Alert class for handle alert.

you can use object of alert class for different operations on alert like accept, dismiss, get alert text etc.

  Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
  alert.accept();
  alert.dismiss();
  String vAlertText = alert.getText();
