Serenity/JS 3.0 - ERROR webdriver: Request failed with status 404 due to no such alert

When using webdriver instead of devtools with the WDIO integration the same error is logged multiple times. It seams at each interaction which is performed via webdriver.

ERROR webdriver: Request failed with status 404 due to no such alert

Test will run and does not fail. Do you know, what this error stands for and why it is raised? It’s a bit disturbing. I dit not test, yet, if this error would appear in a pure WDIO setup as well (without using Serenity/JS).

Reproduction

• Switch to the Serenity/JS main branch
• Run npm ci, npm run lerna:bootstrap:all, npm run compile
• cd into ./integration/webdriverio-web
• In the wdio.conf change automationProtocol to webdriver
• In a terminal run npm run start, in an other terminal run npx chromedriver --port=4444
• In another terminal run npm run test:acceptance:run

Thanks for fixing this, it works.

🚀 New implementation of ModalDialog is available as of 3.0.0-rc.20. It doesn’t rely on checking if the modal is present before switching windows, so won’t be causing the WebDriver error.
