how to verify the content of the pop message in ruby capybara

I want to verify the content of the pop up message "Only Whole numbers" after submitting a form. Below is the code to submit the form:

fill_in 'allocationRegContrib[12].newFundValue', :with => workbook.cell(2,3)
find(:xpath, '//*[@id="allocationChangeDetails"]').click
sleep 5
expect(page).to have_content("Only Whole numbers")

Line 4 is the place where I want to check the content in the pop up . I get the error "unexpected alert open"

Then i tried in another way by adding the line 4 in the place where I accept the pop up. Below is the code:

Then (/^I accept popup for fractional part$/) do
expect(page).to have_content("Only Whole numbers")
page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept 
end

here too i get the same error. Please Advice

To do this in a cross driver manner with capybara you need to change your steps slightly since the step that triggers the alert needs to know it's coming

When (/^I do something and accept popup for fractional part$/) do
  accept_alert "Only Whole numbers" do
    # the do something code that triggers the alert box
  end
end

If you're using the accept popup in more than one place you could do something along the lines of

When (/^(.+) and accept popup for fractional part$/) do |step_name|
  accept_alert "Only Whole numbers" do
    step(step_name)
  end
end

or more generally

When (/^(.+) and accept "([^"]+)"$/) do |step_name, alert_text|
  accept_alert alert_text do
    step(step_name)
  end
end
