Selenium2Library doesn't currently have support for inserting text into a prompt. I've opened an issue in the issue tracker for this:
https://github.com/rtomac/robotframework-selenium2library/issues/292
Until it gets added, you can create your own selenium library by subclassing Selenium2Library, and you can add the function to your version.
For example, create a file named "CustomSeleniumLibrary.py", and make it look like this:
# CustomSeleniumLibrary.py
from Selenium2Library import Selenium2Library
class CustomSeleniumLibrary(Selenium2Library):
def insert_into_prompt(self, text):
alert = None
try:
alert = self._current_browser().switch_to_alert()
alert.send_keys(text)
except WebDriverException:
raise RuntimeError('There were no alerts')
You can then write a test case which uses that library like this:
*** Settings ***
| Library | CustomSeleniumLibrary.py
| Suite Teardown | Close All Browsers
*** test cases ***
| Example of typing into a prompt
| | Open Browser | http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_prompt
| | Select Frame | iframeResult
| | Click Button | Try it
| | Insert into prompt | my name is Inigo Montoya
| | Confirm action
