On this page

Dialog objects are dispatched by page via the page.on('dialog') event.

An example of using Dialog class:

const { chromium } = require('playwright');  // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.(async () => {  const browser = await chromium.launch();  const page = await browser.newPage();  page.on('dialog', async dialog => {    console.log(dialog.message());    await dialog.dismiss();  });  await page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));  await browser.close();})();

note

Dialogs are dismissed automatically, unless there is a page.on('dialog') listener. When listener is present, it must either dialog.accept() or dialog.dismiss() the dialog - otherwise the page will freeze waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.
