How to catch 500 server error with selenium webdriver during a test in a webpage?

i have a java code with selenium webdriver to test the presence of some element in a webpage. The test passed each time it found elements but sometime when i have a 500 server error message on the top of the webpage, the test passes successfully. How can i fetch this server error message in my test. What is the web element of this error message?

Any help Thank you

I've done a check similar to this before in a Regression suite...

One thing you can do, is have a function that gets executed very frequently. Something like this:

(your tags are vague, so i will use pseudo-Java / WebDriver with jUnit)

import static org.junit.Assert.fail;

public void check500() {
    if (isPresent(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#500.error"))))
        fail("500 page displayed! Failing test, and quitting.");
}

You will, of course, replace "div#500.error" with whatever element that IS unique within the 500 error page. There's always going to be one. Look around.

I do this to catch my errors present on a webpage

try {

    List<WebElement> errors = m_driver
            .findElements(By.className(ALERT));

    //Print all the error messages displayed
    for (WebElement e : errors)
        log("MESSAGE : " + e.getText());

}

catch (Exception e) {
}

You can replace the By.className by anything else you want.
