Re: Clicking on Confirmation Button (JS) using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

[Anonymous Monk]

hi,

What kind of popup is it? Is it a alert()/promp() or just html (can be reached via xpath)?

See Re: JavaScript POP up in Firefox for open with and save file dialog and https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/WWW-Mechanize-Firefox/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Firefox/Cookbook.pod#Override-the-Javascript-alert%28%29-function

it's a javascript popup confirm box

What do you mean by "javascript popup confirm box"?

Is it the kind of dialog box like the one opened by a call to the Javascript/browser alert() function or is it some HTML that asks for confirmation?

If it is a call to alert(), then the easiest approach is to replace that confirmation button with a Javascript function that returns the result you want:

$mech->evaluate_in_page(<<'JS');
    window.alert = function(msg) { return true };
JS
