Stop alert from automatically closing.

[romek-codes]

Hello, im uploading a file and if it fails the upload an alert pops up, but it instantly gets closed so i cant interact with it.
I tried using "--cap-string='{"unhandledPromptBehavior":"ignore"}'" so it ignores the alert, but this also didn't fix the issue.

What else could i try to get it working?
Below is the sample code im running.

sb.open(EditProfilePage.URL)
#sb.choose_file(EditProfilePage.PROFILE_PICTURE_INPUT, os.getcwd()+image)
sb.get_element(EditProfilePage.PROFILE_PICTURE_INPUT).send_keys(os.getcwd()+image)

try:
    sb.click(UserModal.MODAL_ACCEPT_BTN) # Try to confirm file upload
except NoSuchElementException: # If element doesnt exist (Alert has opened instead)
    alert = sb.wait_for_and_switch_to_alert()  <- Exception: Alert was not present after 10 seconds (Can't find alert since it has been automatically closed)
    alert_text = alert.text # Get alert text
    sb.accept_alert()

@RomanJus If you change
sb.click(UserModal.MODAL_ACCEPT_BTN)
to
sb.find_element(UserModal.MODAL_ACCEPT_BTN).click()
does it work correctly for you?

The existing behavior is the default one, unless you use a custom_settings file, such as https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/custom_settings.py, and then then change WAIT_FOR_ANGULARJS to be False. That executes JS to make sure everything has loaded, however, if you execute any JS while an alert is up, it'll dismiss the alert (this is part of how Selenium works).

Any one of the above two solutions should be good enough.

Thank you for your quick answer and help, sadly I couldn't get it working using your solutions,
I got it working by waiting for the alert first before i check for the modal to show up, since if i wait for the modal the alert is long gone.
This is how my new solution looks like:

sb.choose_file(EditProfilePage.PROFILE_PICTURE_INPUT, os.getcwd()+image)

try:
      alert = sb.wait_for_and_switch_to_alert()
      alert_text = alert.text
      sb.accept_alert()

       if alert_text == "cropper_bad_file_warning": # If alert box says its the wrong file type
            if any(file_ending in image for file_ending in wrong_file_types):
                pass

       elif alert_text != "cropper_bad_file_warning": # If alert box shows another error print it
            sb.fail('File could not be uploaded, alert showed up with text: ' + alert_text)

except Exception: # If alert cannot be found
         if sb.find_elements(UserModal.MODAL_ACCEPT_BTN):
             sb.click(UserModal.MODAL_ACCEPT_BTN)
         else:
             sb.fail('Accept new profile image modal could not be found, but an error alert also didn\'t open.')
