Problems with Error: There was an unexpected Confirmation!

Question

I am trying to delete a user from a table. At first I was getting a timeout error but used the BeatnicClick() as described here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1391718/selenium-ide-click-timeout

That solved the timeout error but I'm still getting the unexpected confirmation error. Here's part of the source code:

selenium.Click("ctl00_btnAddressBook"); selenium.WaitForPageToLoad("30000");

// selenium.BeatnicClick("ctl00_page_content_ExistingEmployees_ctl03_btnDeleteEmployee");

String Are you sure you want to delete the selected item? = selenium.GetConfirmation();

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To handle the confirmation your code should look like

selenium.Click("ctl00_btnAddressBook"); 
selenium.WaitForPageToLoad("30000");
//the IDE code is to get around the IDE bug that it waits on click but it works in Se:RC
selenium.Click("ctl00_page_content_ExistingEmployees_ctl03_btnDeleteEmployee");
//handle the confirmation that appears after the click
string confirmMessage = selenium.GetConfirmation();
//Assert its the correct message
Assert.IsTrue(Regex.IsMatch(confirmMessage,"Are you sure you want to delete the selected item?"));

This should click on the delete element and then get the confirm and if you want it can assert its the correct message

selenium.Click("ctl00_page_content_btnProceed");
            for (int second = 0; ; second++)
            {
                if (second >= 60) Assert.Fail("timeout");
                try
                {
                    if (selenium.IsElementPresent("ctl00_page_content_chkEligibleEmployee_1")) break;
                }
                catch (Exception)
                { }
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
            selenium.Click("ctl00_page_content_chkEligibleEmployee_1");
            Assert.IsFalse(selenium.IsEditable("ctl00_page_content_chkEligibleEmployee_0"));


            selenium.Click("ctl00_page_content_btnNewReceipients");


            selenium.Click("ctl00_page_content_ExistingShiftDetails_ctl03_linkbtnShowHide");
            Assert.IsTrue(Regex.IsMatch(selenium.GetConfirmation(), "^Are you sure you want to send this shift to newly added recipient(s)?[\\s\\S]$"));

Still getting the unexpected confirmation error.
