[wtr-general] Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledAlertError: unexpected alert open: {Alert text : Bad response

The issue is that sometimes an alert has popped up. Whenever an alert is
present, the driver will not accept any commands that do not deal with that
alert. Just like a user can't do anything on a site without dismissing it.
That includes screenshots. Rescuing the error won't help if you just send
another non-alert handling command.

These appear to be "real" errors as in the site appears to be responding
improperly and your tests are finding an actual issue.

As the developer what would cause a JS alert of `Bad response - parser
error!` or `Couldn't load credit card! ` since these Strings are somewhere
in your app code. Also log the wire calls getting sent to the driver to see
exactly what is causing the alert (`Selenium::WebDriver.logger.level =
:info`)

As a side note, Watir is lazy loaded, so this code won't actually do
anything.
Watir::Wait.until {element}

`element` object instance will immediately return a truthy value and no
waiting happens.

It shouldn't matter, though, because `#focus` will automatically wait for
the element to exist and `#click` will automatically wait for the element
to be displayed.

In order for the dev to have a look I need to give them the browser
console logs at the point of failure. What happens is that some times I get
the error on "wait_for_ajax" and some time on "wait_and_click" method. The
test exits abruptly with the errors above and no screenshots ate taken
Is there a way I can get the browser console logs at this point?
def place_order
wait_for_ajax
wait_and_click place_order_btn_element
end
def wait_and_click element
begin
retries ||= 0
Watir::Wait.until {element}.focus
Watir::Wait.until {element}.click
rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError
retry if (retries += 1) < $code_retry
rescue Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException
retry if (retries += 1) < $code_retry
end
end
