dismissAlert

Dismiss a system alert dialog on iOS.

Partial support in Astra Scout

iOS only. The step is not available on Android; tap the dialog button with tapOn instead.

The dismissAlert command dismisses the system alert that is on screen (Don't Allow or Cancel), for example a permission prompt. It waits for the alert to appear.

Syntax

- dismissAlert

Parameters

The command takes no arguments. The common step options apply.

Option	Description
timeout	How long to wait for an alert, in milliseconds. Defaults to 5000.
optional	Standard step option.
label	Standard step option.

Behavior

• The step polls for an alert about every 500 ms until the timeout.
• If no alert appears, the step still passes with the message "No alert to dismiss". Use assertVisible first if the alert must be there.
• To pick a specific button, use tapOn, for example tapOn: "Don't Allow". See also acceptAlert.

Usage example

- launchApp
- dismissAlert:
    timeout: 8000
