I followed the thread and tried the techniques as suggested (i.e.
ie.alert.close) and also experienced problems.
My browser: Chrome. The error fails right after the click.
Sample code
require 'rubygems'
require 'watir-webdriver'
require "watir-webdriver/extensions/alerts"
ie.text_field(:id,'login').set('666')
ie.text_field(:id,'password').set('bad')
ie.button(:id,'login').click
puts ie.alert.exists?.to_s
ie.alert.close
