org.openqa.selenium.NoAlertPresentException: no alert open

Question

My test checks to see if I can send a message to the mail. When I click the send button should check the alert.

My code for alert is:

        Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
        System.out.println(alert.getText());
        alert.accept();
        Assert.assertTrue(alert.getText().contains("Thanks."));

My error is:

Answer 1

The code has to wait for alert. Below is the sample code

try {
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 2);
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
    Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
    System.out.println(alert.getText());
    alert.accept();
    Assert.assertTrue(alert.getText().contains("Thanks."));
} catch (Exception e) {
    //exception handling
}
