This makes dialogs disappear and prevents stalling. Pros: - No need to worry about dialogs for most users. - Those that wait for a specific dialog still get to control it. Cons: - Those who use Playwright to show interactive browser will have to add an empty 'dialog' handler to prevent auto-dismiss. We do this in cli.

Playwright can interact with the web page dialogs such as [`alert`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/alert), [`confirm`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/confirm), [`prompt`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/prompt) as well as [`beforeunload`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event) confirmation.

## alert(), confirm(), prompt() dialogs
|
|
|
|
By default, dialogs are auto-dismissed by Playwright, so you don't have to handle them. However, you can register a dialog handler before the action that triggers the dialog to accept or decline it.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
page.on('dialog', dialog => dialog.accept());
|
|
await page.click('button');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python async
|
|
page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: dialog.accept())
|
|
await page.click("button")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python sync
|
|
page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: dialog.accept())
|
|
page.click("button")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
[`event: Page.dialog`] listener **must handle** the dialog. Otherwise your action will stall, be it [`method: Page.click`], [`method: Page.evaluate`] or any other. That's because dialogs in Web are modal and block further page execution until they are handled.

```
|
|
|
|
```python async
|
|
page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: print(dialog.message))
|
|
await page.click("button") # Will hang here
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python sync
|
|
page.on("dialog", lambda dialog: print(dialog.message))
|
|
page.click("button") # Will hang here
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
If there is no listener for [`event: Page.dialog`], all dialogs are automatically dismissed.

### API reference
|
|
|
|
- [`Dialog`]
|
|
- [`method: Dialog.accept`]
|
|
- [`method: Dialog.dismiss`]
|
|
|
|
## beforeunload dialog
|
|
|
|
When [`method: Page.close`] is invoked with the truthy [`option: runBeforeUnload`] value, it page runs its unload handlers. This is the only case when [`method: Page.close`] does not wait for the page to actually close, because it might be that the page stays open in the end of the operation.
|
|
|
|
You can register a dialog handler to handle the beforeunload dialog yourself:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
page.on('dialog', async dialog => {
|
|
assert(dialog.type() === 'beforeunload');
|
|
await dialog.dismiss();
|
|
});
|
|
await page.close({runBeforeUnload: true});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python async
|
|
async def handle_dialog(dialog):
|
|
assert dialog.type == 'beforeunload'
|
|
await dialog.dismiss()
|
|
|
|
page.on('dialog', lambda: handle_dialog)
|
|
await page.close(run_before_unload=True)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python sync
|
|
def handle_dialog(dialog):
|
|
assert dialog.type == 'beforeunload'
|
|
dialog.dismiss()
|
|
|
|
page.on('dialog', lambda: handle_dialog)
|
|
page.close(run_before_unload=True)
|
|
```
