I am trying to use WebDriver to automate an website. I am using Firefox Driver, but the homepage has a Pop-up modal alert window: saying:
You need to use IE 6.0 for viewing this application. Else some features may not work I checked the Source of the page, it has a function. The Modal Alert is not an HTML element, I tried finding any element with FireBug, but to no avail.
if ( strBrowName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" )
{
if ( (( strBrowVersion.indexOf( 'MSIE 6' ) ) > 0 ) )
{
}
else
{
alert( "You need to use IE 6.0 for viewing this application. Else some features may not work" );
}
In my WebDriver code I am using the following capability in the Driver (as suggested by some other post here)
DesiredCapabilities dc=new DesiredCapabilities();
dc.setCapability(CapabilityType.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOUR,UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.ACCEPT);
WebDriver driver =new FirefoxDriver(dc);
Then I am making a simple get call, enclosed in a try-catch:
try {
driver.get(B);
}
catch (UnhandledAlertException e) {
System.err.println("Caught UnhandledAlertException: ");
}
System.out.println("URL Opened");
If I do not write any method on the driver object and close the driver instead. The program terminates in Eclipse normally, but the Modal Alert stays open, inspite of the:
UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.ACCEPT
But, if I use ANY driver related method or operation, like, as simple as getTitle:
String title = driver.getTitle();
The Java code fails with Exception, BUT the modal Alert pop-up closes! And the last line number of the error is given as the line where I used the first driver related operation.
Please share your thoughts...

The behaviour is intended. Here is how it works -
Now, the problem occurs that modal dialog closes and still exception occurs, so try the following.
