Headless Chrome Capybara::Driver::Base#accept_modal (Capybara::NotSupportedByDriverError)

[joshuacronemeyer]

Hi there,

I get this error when trying to interact with an alert with Capybara using headless chrome. I would have posted this in the google group but when I go there it is just a message saying "Capybara has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content." and i can't post or see posts there.

Meta

Capybara Version: 3.40.0
Driver Information (and browser if relevant): selenium-webdriver 4.27.0 chrome 131.0.6778.109 with headless flag

Expected Behavior

accept_modal will close the alert

Actual Behavior

app/models/permit.rb:252:in `go_to_permit_detail': Capybara::Driver::Base#accept_modal (Capybara::NotSupportedByDriverError)
	from app/models/permit.rb:231:in `fetch_permit_detail'
	from app/sidekiq/get_permit_details_job.rb:21:in `block in perform'
	from app/sidekiq/get_permit_details_job.rb:20:in `perform'
	from (****):1:in `<main>'

I got an email about a comment that says "I think this may be related to https://issues.chromium.org/issues/351858989" but i guess the comment was deleted. If that chrome issue is the blocker here then it looks like it's moving really slow to get chrome to take action on it and that most people downgrade to chrome 126 to work around it? It's a major bummer because when somebody pops an alert you just can't do anything and when you try to do something Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnexpectedAlertOpenError gets raised.
