Question

I have gone through the post of capybara + click on alert box but nothing seems to be work. Following is my scenario:

Scenario: When I click update

Answer 1

I know this is old but this now works in poltergeist too:

page.accept_alert

Answer 2

You can click on an alert box like this:

page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept

Answer 3

Updated answer here, since the options above seem to have all been deprecated.

Capybara::Session#accept_alert seems to be the best way to accomplish this now, where the action that will trigger the alert should be passed in a block. http://www.rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/Capybara/Session:accept_alert

e.g.:

page.accept_alert 'Alert text here' do
    click_button('Search')
end

Answer 4

page.accept_alert

worked for me using Selenium. Other drivers will probably have their own syntax.

As Jillian Foley mentioned, it seems that other answers have been deprecated.

Answer 5

Try this line if you want to click on the ok button of the alert box:

page.evaluate_script('window.confirm = function() { return true; }')

Don't forget to mark your test with the javascript flag

it "update user to trainer", js: true do
    ...
end

and enable Capybara.javascript_driver with :webkit or :selenium in your spec_helper file

Answer 6

For WebKit:

page.accept_confirm { click_button "Upgrade" }

For Selenium:

page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept
