JavaScript alerts, prompts and confirmations - Non-working (?) example in python

[kjo-sdds]

It seems that the example in Python (can't speak for the other languages, I'm only using python) is not the best suited :

    wait = WebDriverWait(driver, timeout=2)
    alert = wait.until(lambda d : d.switch_to.alert)
    text = alert.text
    alert.accept()

Seems to ONLY work if the alert is already present at the time the code runs. Which :

1. Does not really correspond to the semantic of wait.until
2. Does not work if the alert is generated on the return of an async function

Especially it seems there's a way made specifically for that :

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# [...]

        wait = WebDriverWait(driver, timeout=4)
        alert = wait.until(EC.alert_is_present())
        text = alert.text
        alert.accept()

Maybe I missed it (then it's just me the moron) ... but kind of a bummer that I had to find it elsewhere than the docs ...
