Rails + Capybara: "Unexpected Warning Open" for Selenium Driver

Question

I use Capybara and Chrome as my default selenium browser.

Test:

it "is successful with deleting a user", js: true do visit '/users' expect(User.count).to eq(1) expect(user.email).to eq(" [e-mail] ") expect(page).to have_content("Manage Users") click_link 'Delete User' page.driver.browser.confirm.accept user.reload visit '/users' expect(User.count).to eq(0) end 

I get this error for my test:

 Failure/Error: visit '/users' Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledAlertError: unexpected alert open 

In my test, I tried the following:

 page.driver.browser.switch_to.confirm page.driver.browser.switch_to.accept page.driver.browser.confirm.accept 

Any other options I should try with my test?

Try wrapping code that triggers a warning request inside the accept_alert block, for example:

 it "is successful with deleting a user", js: true do visit '/users' expect(User.count).to eq(1) expect(user.email).to eq(" [e-mail] ") expect(page).to have_content("Manage Users") # Change is here: accept_alert do click_link 'Delete User' end user.reload visit '/users' expect(User.count).to eq(0) end 

I'm a little worried that you want to use a warning, not a confirmation when deleting a resource, but that is up to you. The warning will simply tell you that something will happen, while the confirmation allows the user to change their mind by clicking on the “Cancel” button instead of “OK”. If the confirmation mode is used instead of the notification modality, then the accept_alert part should be changed to accept_confirm .

Refer to the rubydoc modal documentation for more information.
