How can I get WebDriver to dismiss a Firefox Security Alert?

I am writing a test script using spock, geb, and WebDriver. The script submits a form on an insecure page. The page submits to a secure HTTPS URL. Firefox shows a warning for this, specifcally:

Security Warning

This causes the following error:

org.openqa.selenium.UnhandledAlertException: Modal dialog present

How do I have WebDriver dismiss this alert if it shows up?

Solution

  • Found the answer in a question: Handling Alert in webdriver 2.21and mozilla11

    driver.switchTo().alert().accept()
