Question

I have a button that displays Javascript confirmation popup. This is a part of my test case:

<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>buttonId</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>Object has been deleted</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

It works as expected: OK is clicked automatically on a popup and verifyTextPresent return true. Still, I get [error] There was an unexpected Confirmation! in the log and test case fails.

Any suggestions?

Summary: In the IDE use storeConfirmation.

You have to consume confirmation dialogs. Otherwise the Selenium test will fail.

From the Java Selenium RC API Selenium.html.getConfirmation method:

If a confirmation is generated but
you do not consume it with
getConfirmation method, the next Selenium
action will fail.

Edit:

storeConfirmation consumes the confirmation as well.

storeConfirmation ( variableName )

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript confirmation dialog
generated during the previous action.

If a confirmation is generated but you do not consume it with
getConfirmation method, the next Selenium
action will fail.
