cypress shows "waiting for page to load' forever when alert popped up

[maksimkarpov]

Current behavior:

Hi, I have an issue when clicking on a link that is popping up an alert, like - after it cypress shows 'waiting for page to load' forever and nothing else happening. It looks like it starts waiting when a link is clicked and if page is not reloading then this is what happens.
When not run with cypress the link just pops up an alert and not trying to load anything

Desired behavior:

When the page is not to be reloaded - don't wait for it to reload.

Hey @maksimkarpov, can you look over this issue #2118 and see if this covers the behavior you're experiencing? Are you using the window.onbeforeunload?

Also, any screenshots or test code to see/reproduce would be very helpful!
