Description

I just withnessed following issue:

Running Acceptance . Keywords . Alerts . Alert Should Not Be Present with custom timeout left a alert open after a test failure and that caused a trickle down effect of quite a lot of tests failing due to following error:

UnexpectedAlertPresentException: Alert Text: None Message: unexpected alert open: {Alert text : Alert after 500ms!} (Session info: chrome=72.0.3626.121) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.46.628411 (3324f4c8be9ff2f70a05a30ebc72ffb013e1a71e),platform=Mac OS X 10.14.3 x86_64)

Maybe the alert tests should have test suite and teardown to open & close the browser to avoid this sort of flakyness ?

Research direction

Start with the acceptance test for the Alerts keyword “Alert Should Not Be Present” using a custom timeout, then reproduce the failure that leaves an alert open. Review the related alert tests and their teardown behavior; done means a failed test no longer leaves an alert that causes subsequent tests to fail with UnexpectedAlertPresentException.
