Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnexpectedAlertOpenError:

Question

I get an error because an alert is open. And I think I handle it in the right way ;-) According to my research the 'accept_confirm' block is the way to handle this.

feature "Users can delete studynotes", js: true do
  let(:user) { create(:user) }
  let(:otheruser) { create(:user) }

  before { create(:studynote, title: "Jona", author: user) }

  scenario "successfully", js:true do
    login_as(user)

    visit studynotes_path
    click_link "Jona"

    accept_confirm do
      click_link t(:delete_item, item: Studynote.model_name.human)
    end

    expect(page).to have_content(t("activerecord.messages.deleted", model: "bijbelstudie"))
    expect(page).to have_current_path pericopes_path
    expect(page).to have_no_content "Jona"
  end

This is the error I get

1. Users can delete studynotes successfully Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content(t("activerecord.messages.deleted", model: "bijbelstudie"))

Answer 1

If someone runs into the same problem, here's how I fixed this. I noticed in the page source that all my javascript files were loaded twice. After removing these 2 lines from my application.html.haml, that problem was solved.

= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload'
= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload'
