Why Playwright is not able to handle alerts, pop-ups, and other web page elements?

Playwright automation framework has various ways to handle alerts, pop-ups, and web page elements, but sometimes, because of certain errors, it cannot handle them. There are possible solutions you can apply:

• You can use the 'page.on' function to register a callback triggered when a specific event takes place on a webpage. You can use dialogs with it, which are displayed on the page.
• Use ‘dialog.accept’ or ‘dialog.dismiss’ to accept or dismiss the alert box or pop-up. You can also use ‘dialog.text’ to display text in alerts.
• To handle web elements, you can use ‘page.waitForSelector’ for a specific element to appear on the page. You can use ‘page$’ or ‘page$$’ to locate web elements.
• You can also use ‘page.click’ , ‘page.type’, or ‘page.select’ to interact with the web elements as per requirement.

You can learn more about handling alerts in Playwright testing on the LambdaTest Playwright learning hub.
