Frames, alerts and prompts¶
Using iframes¶
You can use the get_iframe
method and the with
statement to interact with iframes. You can pass the iframe’s name, id, or index to get_iframe
.
with browser.get_iframe('iframemodal') as iframe:
iframe.do_stuff()
Handling alerts and prompts¶
Chrome support for alerts and prompts is new in Splinter 0.4.
IMPORTANT: Only webdrivers (Firefox and Chrome) has support for alerts and prompts.
You can deal with alerts and prompts using the get_alert
method.
alert = browser.get_alert()
alert.text
alert.accept()
alert.dismiss()
In case of prompts, you can answer it using the fill_with
method.
prompt = browser.get_alert()
prompt.text
prompt.fill_with('text')
prompt.accept()
prompt.dismiss()
You can use the with
statement to interacte with both alerts and prompts too.
with browser.get_alert() as alert:
alert.do_stuff()
If there’s not any prompt or alert, get_alert
will return None
.
Remember to always use at least one of the alert/prompt ending methods (accept and dismiss).
Otherwise your browser instance will be frozen until you accept or dismiss the alert/prompt correctly.
