I must say they are pretty much on point on the Unexpected part!  Fortunately, there are easy ways to mitigate the issue. 1. Disable alerts completely: driver . execute_script( 'window.alert = function(){};' ); execute this script just before where you anticipate the alert and you're golden. 2. You want to see the alert text but not disturb the execution flow. driver . execute_script( 'window.alert = console.info;' ); Now the alerts have been redirected to the console and you don't have to worry about them.
