Allow Selenium Webdriver C# tests to accept javascript popup alerts
Posted by Michael Okarimia in Handy Tips on September 23, 2011
I have been writing Selenium webdriver powered tests for over a year, as part of a suit of acceptance tests, and I was looking to prevent a test from failing when a JavaScript pop up alert interrupted the tests completion.
I found the non C# solution blogged but I’ve written the code in C# below:
1 | WebDriver.SwitchTo().Alert().Accept(); |
Livenation 3.0 site launched!

After over half a year of effort, the site I have been working on was officially announced this week. The site, www.livenation.co.uk is now at version 3 and was put into production last Tuesday. The project started some time before I joined the company, and it’s been a great experience to work with a such a skilled team.
I’m looking forward to further interesting projects the year will bring!
Amusing recruiter email
Posted by Michael Okarimia in Uncategorized on February 9, 2011
This gem arrived on my inbox recently, despite numerous my requests to remove me from their jobs mail out:
> Dear Michael
>
> Based on the information we hold on our database we believe the position outlined below may be of interest to you.
>
> POSITION DESCRIPTION:
>
> Our client is a global, top 10, digital [I edited this bit out, blah, blah blah….]
>
> Let me outline their ideal candidate.
>
> You are a geek with a compassionate heart: you just want to help! So what if you are misunderstood, sometimes, aren’t we all? Are you a techie working on half a can of jolt with frayed nerves and lovable, yet irritating character flaws, annoying those around you and, at times, causing you heartburn – it’s hard being me – screams your ulcer. You are bright, quirky and have a well organized cosmetics shelf of grooming products. Sometimes you read science fiction, dabble with the occult and, don’t forget, know a little about martial arts. You love the internet, and in turn, it loves you. Your blog site is never read, but that doesn’t matter, you hammer out a few thousand words a day, regardless, of the pain you are suffering because your hamster has gone off its food. Am I getting through to you? Your hairstyle is dated, yet cool, your dress sense is so wrong, but so right. We need you, and you need us…. just a little, but still … enough it hurts …hello … is it you I’m looking for?

> Now for the usual required skills blurb: You should have commercial experience with: .NET, ASP.NET [blah, blah etc…]
top marks for trying though I think the recruiter’s talents are wasted!
