ATF failing on Delete UI Action due to confirmation popup not handled

[Khalid9030]

Hi,

Issue:
I have a Delete UI Action in a scoped application that works perfectly when executed manually. When the user clicks the Delete button, a confirmation popup appears, and the record deletes only after clicking OK.

Problem in ATF:
When running ATF, the Delete step attempts to execute immediately. Even though I added a Click UI Component step in ATF to click the popup’s OK/Delete button, the test still fails with the following error:

I changed the step from Click Component (Custom UI) to Click Modal Button, but the same error occurred as mentioned above.
I understand that the issue is not related to clicking the delete button on the pop-up screen. The error occurred because the record was deleted before the delete button on the pop-up screen was clicked in ATF.

@Khalid9030 

yes seems so.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Khalid9030 ,

I have checked the same issue with ServiceNow as I'm facing the same issue. Please find the response below:

" Pop-Up Triggered via Script - this is not directly support interacting with browser-level pop-up windows, such as those generated by alert(), confirm(), or prompt() in scripts. This is a known limitation of ATF. Instead of using alert(), confirm(), or prompt(), use GlideModal or GlideModalForm to create custom pop-up windows within the ServiceNow UI. These are rendered in the same frame as the main application and can be interacted with using ATF's Custom UI steps (e.g., "Click Component," "Set Component Value"). This doc staets "The client script alert option is not available for use with Automated Test Framework (ATF)"

Let me know if you need any further help.

Thanks,

Pradeep
