Codeception: acceptPopup doesn't work when using CodeCoverage

My acceptance tests works perfectly when I don’t use --coverage (or --coverage-html), but when I do the following error appears (and I have a “$I->acceptPopup();” in this point of the code).

Command:

php codecept.phar run acceptance myTestCept.php --coverage-html -d

My codeception.yml:

            password: ''
            dump: tests/_data/dump.sql

And my acceptance.suite.yml:

class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - WebDriver
        - AcceptanceHelper
    config:
        WebDriver:

            browser: 'chrome'
            restart: false
            window_size: 1024x768

I’m using: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bits Codeception 2.0.5 php 5.5.12 XDebug 2.2.5

I tried to use

capabilities:
        unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept'

in acceptance.suite.yml, but nothing changes…

Am I doing anything wrong?

Nothing new on this?

I hit exactly this bug but would say it is with the Coverage module. Coverage/Subscriber/LocalServer.php:194 tries to read a cookie after each test step. Chromedriver fails this with the unexpected alert open.

See the following selenium logs for details. There is:

A click on a button that leads to an alert opening on the page
The cookie read which results from the coverage
The unexpected alert from chromedriver

In case coverage is disabled, the cookie read is missing and the test continues normally.

My PoC solution is to disable the error cookie read. In reality, I see two options: a) why is reading cookies even forbidden in this situation? -> Make chromedriver allow this. b) why do we need to read errors after each step? This does not happen without coverage… -> Do this only once in the beginning or after each suite.

I think codecoverage is a good step towards a solid codebase and see this as a major bug stopping people from using it, so I feel this issue should be addressed

@eXorus This issue is still valid and should be reopened.

The analysis done here is exactly correct: https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/1485#issuecomment-343901313 Attempting grabCookie() while an alert is present immediately dismisses the prompt and causes an exception on both latest Chrome and Firefox drivers:

Chrome:

  [Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\UnexpectedAlertOpenException] unexpected alert open: {Alert text : FooBar? }
  (Session info: chrome=90.0.4430.212)

Firefox:

[Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\UnexpectedAlertOpenException] Dismissed user prompt dialog: FooBar?

As a workaround you can disable the call to $this->fetchErrors() in Codeception/Coverage/Subscriber/LocalServer.php (https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/4.1/src/Codeception/Coverage/Subscriber/LocalServer.php#L97). Note that this obviously will cause c3 collection errors to remain silent.

A better solution is option B proposed in https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/1485#issuecomment-343901313

This workaround works for me, if you want to press on “Submit” or “OK” button.

$I->executeJS('
            var realConfirm = window.confirm;
            window.confirm = function(){
            window.confirm = realConfirm;
            return true;
            };');

petrisorionel on Jan 29, 2018

I think I found the reason. After popup is displayed, acceptPopup() should be called, but grabCookie() is called, thats why WebDriver fail with UnexpectedAlertOpenException. Now it work something like: $I->click(‘something’); Codeception\Coverage\Subscriber\LocalServer::afterStep() ->Codeception\Coverage\Subscriber\LocalServer::fetchErrors() ->webdriver->grabCookie(self::COVERAGE_COOKIE_ERROR); $I->acceptPopup();//never called, since it failed on grabCookie() before

But what is solution? skip grabCookie() if popup is displayed?

Same issue. Any workaround ?
