How to get text from the alert box

I need to grab a text from the alert box shown below. This alert box appears hovering above the url bar. Below is an example of my framework assertion:

verifyDisplay("'"+ driver.switchTo().alert().getText() + "'", By.xpath("xpath").

I am not sure, how to grab xpath, id, name of this alert box, since there is none.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Qus) How can the message in the alert box be retrieved?

Ans) storeAlert() command can be used to retrieve the message from the alert pop-up and store it in a variable.

Just import the "org.openqa.selenium.Alert" lib and use below code to get the text from dialog boxes.

Alert confirmation = driver.switchTo().alert();
String alerttext = confirmation.getText();
System.out.println(alerttext);

We can do one thing here get the HTML source in string and then find the 'alert(' and then we can substring the message inside the alert box ex-

var htmlString = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML;
if(htmlString.includes('alert(')){
    var indexOfAlertBeginning = htmlstring.indexof('alert(');
    var stringFromAlert = htmlstring.substr(indexOfAlertBeginning);
    var indexOfAlertEnd = stringFromAlert.indexof(')');
    var alertMessages = stringFromAlert(0,indexOfAlertEnd);
    console.log(alertMessages);
}

Please Try this and tell me if this workable

There is a method in Alert interface which gives you the text of the alert box message. As below:

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.getText();

Alert API javadoc

Let me know if you need further help.
