WebdriverIO - How to check for browser notification
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am using WebdriverIO in the WebStorm IDE and I am testing a web application that requires Adobe Flash Player to be enabled in order to continue. I am trying to verify that a browser's notification displays (see below image). I am not looking to click/select "allow" or "block", I am only testing to see if the notification displays in the browser.
How could I accomplish this? I would be testing a variety of different browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
I also understand that there are methods such as getAlertText, acceptAlert, and dismissAlert, however none of these methods are recognized or executed in my IDE.
Should these methods work? How could I get these methods to work?
If any more information is needed, I'll be happy to comply.

Hey Brian! So let me get this straight: You are "only testing to see if the notification displays in the browser. I would be testing a variety of different browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari." I'll just spare your the trouble and say first hand this is close to impossible. You could make it work on some browsers, but there hardly could be a homogenous solution (constant across all browsers) imhho. SO, that's a hard NO!.

First off, you want to check notifications, not alert boxes, so of course those methods you just mentioned won't work. Secondly, as some pointers I can off the top of my head think of 2-3 ways it could be done, but you have to put in the work & research. 1. Try using a Visual Regression tool and check if that notification appeared in your predefined section; 2. Get a NodeJS intercept library & see if you can validate that notification; I'll update if I find an easy way to do it. But right now I cannot think of anything other than disabling the notifications altogether.
