[pradeipp]

Hi, as mentioned in the title the uiautomator2 driver is not taking the autoDismissAlerts capability.

Here's the exact message:

[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@d1ad] The following provided capabilities were not recognized by this driver:
[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@d1ad]   autoDismissAlerts

Here's the capabilities list for reference(as picked from the logs):

[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@d1ad] Creating session with W3C capabilities: {
  "alwaysMatch": {
    "platformName": "Android",
    "appium:automationName": "uiautomator2",
    "appium:app": "/home/user1/application.apk",
    "appium:autoDismissAlerts": true,
    "appium:autoGrantPermissions": true,
    "appium:udid": "emulator-5612"
  },
  "firstMatch": [
    {}
  ]
}

OS: Debian 11
Appium version: 2.16.2
Uiautomator2 driver version: 4.0.3

Please advise, I couldn't find any discussion regarding this on the internet.

This is expected. This driver has never been supporting such capability.

Hi @mykola-mokhnach, that's interesting.. so there's no top level way to 'auto-dismiss' all alerts on android? and that we have to dismiss them one by one deterministically?

[mykola-mokhnach]

yes, that's correct

great, thanks a lot @mykola-mokhnach I'll close the ticket
