Handling Alerts Selenium Webdriver

Question

I used alert method in the below code”

    try {

        Alert alert = webDriver.switchTo().alert();

         alert.getText();

                     log().info("Alert detected: {}" + alert.getText());

        alert.accept();

    } catch (Exception e) {

    }

When there is no alert on the current state, it waits for a specific amount of time until the timeout is reached, then throws an exception.How to do it in better way?

You can use Explicit Wait from here https://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp#explicit-and-implicit-waits

public void checkAlert() {

    try {

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 2);

        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());

        Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();

        alert.accept();

    } catch (Exception e) {

                  }

}
