How can you handle browser notifications using Selenium WebDriver?
Hey Rhian,
You can disable browser notifications when creating a WebDriver instance using ChromeOptions
for Chrome or FirefoxOptions
for Firefox. Here’s an example in Python:
For Chrome:
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
For Firefox:
from selenium import webdriver
firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
firefox_options.set_preference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", False)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=firefox_options)
By using these options, you can prevent browser notifications from interrupting your automated tests. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
