c# - Timeout on Alert.Accept method - Stack Overflow

The website that I am testing has a logout button. When I click the logout button there is an Alert popup When I Accept the popup the Accept hangs for a long time I think the Accept times out

How can I change the alert.Accept timeout period?

I would like the Alert.Accept to return to my test in a short time

• Does the site/page have the same behavior when you perform these steps manually? If so, there's not much you can do about it. – JeffC Commented Jan 7 at 6:56
• chances are it's throwing an unexpected prompt error. Hard to tell without seeing code. You can set the unexpected alert behavior to not throw. By default I think it's "accept and notify". The "notify" part is the thrown exception. If you want it to always accept and not throw, set unexpected prompt behavior in driver options. – browsermator Commented Jan 7 at 17:29

My problem is caused by the behaviour of the web site that I am testing.

The web site that I am testing sometime raises zero, one, two or more alerts so I have to wait until no more alerts occur. The time between alerts may be zero, one or more seconds so I have to wait the worst case seconds just in case one or more of the delayed alerts occur. So my problem is all the fault of the web site that I am testing.
