Tried this as well but hard luck. The control was not switching to the alert box so it wasn't able to click OK button – Prashant1992 Jan 10 '19 at 13:29

You can also send keyboard events to press enter key as soon as pop up is active Pressing enter key is as equivalent as clicking OK button

Make use of Robot class in java

Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)

try adding delay statements in between `Robot r = new Robot();` `r.delay(500);` `r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);` `r.delay(500);` `r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)` `r.delay(500);` – Ankit Agrawal Jan 14 '19 at 08:19

You can try this by using JavascriptExecutor. It always works if we fail to find element using findelement method

I just found a way to handle this issue.

DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();

dc.setCapability(CapabilityType.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOUR, UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.IGNORE);

d = new FirefoxDriver(dc);

then implemented the alert code in try catch block

try
    {
        Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
        String alertText = alert.getText();
        System.out.println("Alert data: " + alertText);
        alert.accept();
    }
    catch (UnhandledAlertException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
