Ok, I think I understand what you are trying to achieve now. It is not the
usual way to use these steps.
You could try placing an expectDialog step before your clickButton
step. Set the dialogType to either "confirm" or "prompt". Now if an
alert occurs, it will be the wrong type. Don't use verifyNoDialogs now
as you should have a leftover expected one which you now just ignore.
This isn't very elegant. It probably seems almost in reverse to what
you would expect. Secondly, it doesn't stop the page from popping up
prompt or confirm dialogs in the future.
As an alternative, use an expectDialog with dialogType="alert".
Then use the following Groovy code (untested) to check that the
expected dialog wasn't triggered off.
<groovy>
import com.canoo.webtest.extension.dialogs.DialogHelper
import com.canoo.webtest.engine.StepFailedException
if (DialogHelper.getExpectedDialogsCount(getContext()) == 0) {
throw new StepFailedException("Expected an untriggered dialog but none
found!", this)
}
</groovy>
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul,
maybe I am using the wrong step. What I want to do is ensure that no alert box
(no dialog) has been opened. If you look at the html, it is always opening an
alert box - that should cause the test to fail IMO.
Thanks
Holger
Why are you expecting it to fail?

Hi,
thanks for the reply and your time. Looks like I have to add a "expectDialog"
element before clickButton !?; but still the ant build succeeds - I think it should fail.
Here's an updated version of my test. The two files are a complete test, so if
you have time, you can try them out.
build file localTest.xml:
<project name="InstallationCheck" basedir="." default="all">
<property name="webtest.home" value="/temp/webtest"/>
<import file="${webtest.home}/lib/taskdef.xml"/>
<target name="all" depends="mayPrintANTError, checkWebTest"/>
<target name="checkWebTest">
<echo message="webtest.home is ${webtest.home}"/>
<webtest name="Test">
<config
host=""
port="0"
basepath=""
summary="false"
saveresponse="false"
haltonfailure="true"
protocol="file"/>
<steps>
<enableJavaScript enable="true"/>
<invoke url="${basedir}/localTest.html"/>
<verifyText text="Test"/>
<selectForm name="TestForm"/>
<expectDialog dialogType="alert" saveProperty="simpleDialog" />
<clickButton name="TestButton"/>
<verifyNoDialogs description="Check alert dialog was used" />
</steps>
</webtest>
</target>
<target name="checkANT">
<available classname="org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent"
property="ant.version.ok"/>
</target>
<target name="mayPrintANTError" unless="ant.version.ok" depends="checkANT">
<echo message="You have a non-compliant version of ANT"/>
<echo message="Consider moving WEBTESTHOME/lib/ant.jar"/>
<echo message="to ANT_HOME/lib."/>
</target>
</project>
HTML localTest.html:
<html>
<head>
<script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
function buttonClick() {
alert ("buttonClick called");
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="TestForm" action="TestResult.html" method="post">
<input name="TestButton" type="submit" value="TestButton" onClick="return
buttonClick();">
</form>
</body>
</html>

verifyNoDialogs should be used in conjunction with expectDialog or
expectDialogs.
I couldn't see one in your test after a quick scan. Because the test is
automated,
you provide ahead of time an expected user response so that for complicated
dialogs
you can test out various behaviours, e.g. hitting the OK vs the Cancel button.
For your simple dialog, there isn't a wide range of behaviours available but
you still need to provide the expectation. For more details, check out:
http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/expectDialog.html
The expectation is simply placed before the action which will fire off
the JavaScript that triggers the dialog. (If you are into Agile development
this technique is very similar to a concept called mocking).
Cheers, Paul.

Hi,
it's actually a prettry simple test, but I cannot make it work. I've tried both
canoo 2.1 and the latest snapshot.
The below given test should fail in my opinion, but it does not. The HTML page
simply has a button which will call a function onClick(). This function always
opens an alert dialog. Thus, verifyNoDialogs should fail, but it doesn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
<html>
<head>
<script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
function buttonClick() {
alert ("buttonClick called");
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="TestForm" action="TestResult.html" method="post">
<input name="TestButton" type="submit" value="TestButton" onClick="return
buttonClick();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
