Question

This question is mostly particularly about phpunit_selenium2 extension (though the general ideas are welcome as well):

Let’s say I have a page that fires an alert on the browser/tab closing event with something like this:

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
    return 'Hello world!';
};

The test opens this page, performs some actions and according to the test scenario I need to open another url.

The issue is that the command

$this->url('/another/page/url');

waits for the page url to be changed and fails because it doesn’t – since it’s locked by the just appeared alert window: RuntimeException: Navigation failed with error code=3.

How would one solve that?

Answer 1

The ugly but the only solution I could think of:

try {
    $this->url('/another/page/url');
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {}
$this->acceptAlert();
