How to select a cell in a tableView thats inside an alertView in UIAutomation?

Question

I am a beginner to UIAutomation. I wanted to know how do I tap one of the cells in a tableView thats inside an alert. As per Apple's UI automation documentation an alert will by default tap the cancel button if you dont specifically handle the alert and return true.

I tried the below written code (found at Apple developer). But this is still tapping the cancel button.

// second alert box "Nearby listings:"
UIATarget.onAlert = function onAlert(alert) {
    var title = alert.name();
    UIALogger.logWarning("Alert with title ’" + title + "’     encountered!");
    if (title == "Nearby listings:") {
        target.frontMostApp().alert().tableViews()["Empty list"].cells()[2].tap(); //    tapping the second cell
        return true; // bypass default handler
    }
}

I would highly appreciate any kind of help.

You may want to take a look at the index position of the cell you are trying to tap.

I am guessing that:

target.frontMostApp().alert().tableViews()["Empty list"].cells()[2].tap();

The [2] is likely the index position of that element in your collection. Take a look at the position of the cell in your collection and set the index accordingly.
