Rspec + Capybara : How to click on alert box

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 button An alert box appears which contains "OK" and "Cancel" button. Click on "Ok" then new form appears.

  1. I am writing request specs i.e. using rspec and capybara. Main problem is to click on the alert box: Following is my code: 

     context "update" do
   before(:all) do
     Capybara.current_driver = :selenium
   end
   after(:all) do
     Capybara.use_default_driver
   end

   it "update user to trainer" do
     click_button('Search')
     sleep 3 
     page.evaluate_script('data-confirm = function() { return true; }')
     page.click('OK')      
     click_button('Upgrade')
   end
 end

    But executing script gives me following error:

    Failure/Error: page.evaluate_script('data-confirm = function() { return true; }') Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnexpectedJavascriptError: invalid assignment left-hand side # ./spec/requests/user_upgrades_spec.rb:30

  2. For the second example i.e.

    page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept

    My code : 

     context "update" do
   before(:all) do
     Capybara.current_driver = :selenium
   end
   after(:all) do
     Capybara.use_default_driver
   end
   it "update user to trainer" do
     click_button('Search')
     sleep 3   
     click_button('Upgrade') 
     page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept
   end
 end

I get error:

Failure/Error: page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledError:

Please let me know how to proceed further

For WebKit:

page.accept_confirm { click_button "Upgrade" }

For Selenium:

page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept

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.

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

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
