webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt is one of the commands in Selenium IDE.
The purpose of webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt command in Selenium IDE, is to cancel the prompt when it is actually displayed.
In this article, I am going to practically demonstrate webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt command in Selenium IDE for cancelling the prompt when it is displayed:
Note: As shown in the above screenshot, the prompt dialog has ‘Text Field’, ‘OK’ and ‘Cancel’ buttons.
Let’s get started.
New Selenium IDE – Using ‘webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt’ command for cancelling the prompt
Follow the below steps for practicing webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt command in Selenium IDE along with me:
1) Execute the open command in Selenium IDE as explained in the previous article: Selenium IDE – open command
2) Now click on the second row in the Selenium IDE’s Test Script Editor Box as shown below:
3) While the second row is selected in step 2, enter the Selenium IDE command ‘click’ to the Command box field, enter the id locating strategy id=prompt into the Target box field as shown below:
Note: The locating strategy id=prompt is for locating the ‘GetPrompt’ button on the http://omayo.blogspot.com/ URL page (Shown at the beginning of the article).
We are doing this to click on the ‘GetPrompt’ button, which ultimately displays the prompt dialog.
4) Select the third row in Selenium IDE Script Editor box, and enter the command ‘webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt’ to the Command box field as shown below:
5) Click on ‘Run current test’ option and observe that the execution got passed:
We have checked that the required prompt dialog got displayed and is canceled successfully.
Note: We won’t be able to see it visually, but the prompt has been actually canceled.
Here concludes the practical demonstration of webdriver choose cancel on visible prompt command in Selenium IDE.

hi Arun,
webdriver choose cancel (all of them) function doesn’t appear to work for me…
I’m using in both Chrome and Firefox and i can’t seem to get the prompt box to select cancel… i’ve tried to replicate/execute your exact test in this article also and the function ‘webdriver choose cancel’ doesn’t work – it just stalls at that step and in the browser you can still see the prompt box.
Any ideas? Below are my versions that im using on windows 10
Selenium IDE v3.15.1
Google Chrome is up to date
Version 78.0.3904.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Don’t know why it is not working for you.
It was working for me earlier.
You can also check this by doing record and playback.
If it is still not working, then you can report an issue to Applitools.com
