Handling Popups with Playwright

Dealing with popups in Playwright is a breeze. You can easily dismiss an alert-type popup by registering a dialog handler before the action that triggers the dialog.

Here's a quick example:

// Register a dialog handler
page.on('dialog', async (dialog) => {
  // Check if it's the desired popup
  if (dialog.type() === 'alert') {
    // Dismiss or cancel the popup by clicking on "Cancel" button
    await dialog.dismiss();
  }
});

// Trigger an action that opens the popup
await page.click('#open-popup-button');

In the above code, page.on('dialog') registers a dialog handler. Inside the handler function, dialog.type() checks if it's an alert-type popup. If it is, dialog.dismiss() dismisses or cancels it.

By registering this dialog handler before triggering any actions that may open popups, you ensure that any alert-type popups are automatically handled and canceled.

Remember, this example assumes you've already navigated to a web page and have access to a Playwright page object named page. You may need to adjust it to fit your specific use case.
