On this page

Dialog objects are dispatched by page via the Page.onDialog(handler) event.

An example of using Dialog class:

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;public class Example {  public static void main(String[] args) {    try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {      BrowserType chromium = playwright.chromium();      Browser browser = chromium.launch();      Page page = browser.newPage();      page.onDialog(dialog -> {        System.out.println(dialog.message());        dialog.dismiss();      });      page.evaluate("alert('1')");      browser.close();    }  }}

note

Dialogs are dismissed automatically, unless there is a Page.onDialog(handler) 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.
