I'm trying to test a webapp I'm developing. I'm using the Firefox driver against Firefox 22.0. At one point, a modal dialog may pop up (a Javascript prompt()). If it does, I want to enter some text and then dismiss it (click OK). Here's the relevant code: try: if button.text == "Run": button.click() except UnexpectedAlertPresentException: alert = self.driver.switch_to_alert() print alert.text alert.send_keys('8080') alert.dismiss() The UnexpectedAlertPresentException is being thrown.

Edit: Also, I can't for the life of me find any documentation on the UnexpectedAlertPresentException in http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/index.html#documentation Edit 2: This is what I have now: try: if button.text == "Run": button.click() alert = self.driver.switch_to_alert() alert.send_keys('1111') alert.dismiss() except NoAlertPresentException: pass However, I'm still seeing this: WebDriverException: Message: u'fxdriver.modals.find_(...) is null' on the line alert.send_keys('8080') .
