How to dismiss authentication popup while running selenium tests in headless mode through Jenkins ? My tests run in Linux docker containers in Jenkins Environment.
The application has SSO enabled hence in most cases, I don't get this popup unless I open the application in incognito mode or run tests through Jenkins (where SSO doesn't work), in which case I just have to dismiss it (same as clicking on cancel button on the popup or pressing ESC key). Also note, entering credentials in the popup won't work (will not launch the application, instead gives error, could be due to oAuth/SSO).
I'm already aware of the following approaches, but none of them really work -
Passing credentials in URL - This approach won't work as it is not basic authentication.
AutoIT - works only in windows OS
Robot class (to press ESC key) won't work in headless mode.
How can I dismiss the authentication popup in headless mode ? I read about Wine tool as AutoIt alternative for Linux OS. Is that the only way to handle this scenario?

how can invoke Chrome within selenium code in a mode “Run as Different User” in java/Selenium because my application windows authentication and need to open chrome with different user and launch application
I need to use TestCafe to perform actions within our Electron app, however I also need to perform actions on the Windows desktop (e.g. click taskbar, launch other apps).
Since TestCafe can only interact with what is within the browser window, I have attempted to use Appium to essential run TestCafe (calling the commandline from C#) and then performing the Windows desktop actions through WinAppDriver however this feels like a kludge.
Are there other methods of arranging this or a framework that would be more elegant?
Thanks for any insights

You are right - TestCafe can only interact with what is within the browser window, but not outside it.
You can also check out the testcafe-browser-provider-webdriverio plugin. Its author claims that this provider can connect to an Appium server.
I have successfully used robotjs to interact with the desktop (mouse move, click, etc.). This seems to be an excellent choice at the moment. Just install alongside TestCafe in your node project.
I'm trying to write a selenium test which :
Connect to a website (which prompt an authentication window)
Click on "cancel" of the authentication window
Do some test stuffs...
But my problem is that : I am not able to cancel the authentication step.
My test should not depend on the environment (I don't want to change the Windows registry keys)
I found this chromium command "--auth-server-whitelist=..." that automatically fills and submit this prompt and I am looking for something that would always refuse the authentication.
Any Ideas ? Suggestions of better ways ?
My web app uses IndexedDB and I'm testing on SauceLabs. Some months back my tests ran but now they block on a browser dialog that says "http://gbserver3.cs.unc.edu/" wants to: store files on this device", with an Allow button.
This is Win7 and Chrome or Firefox. Likely others too.
How can I dismiss or prevent this dialog?
Update: I have discovered that if I don't ask for quota I don't get the popup and my tests succeed. I'd still like to learn how to get rid of that dialog.
we are using Nightwatch.js in our project and we were facing the same issue.
What actually did the trick was using --unlimited-storage switch when launching the browser.

I'm running Hudson for my automated builds and love it.
I'd now like to create automated Web browser tests using either WaTiN (preferred) or Selenium.
As my Hudson runs as a Windows service (under Tomcat), how can I configure this to run? Will I be forced to log in as a user on the Hudson box so my automated browser tests will find a browser? Or is there some other sorcery with an interactive session that I can conjure up?
If possible I'd like the Hudson box itself to run the tests.
After some research I've found that WaTin won't work so well as I'd need to configure Hudson to run in an interactive Java session.
Selenium Grid, however, is perfect - there's a Hudson plug-in that can control it, too.
So that's what we'll use.

A Windows service can indeed run a browser, even when logged in as the LocalSystem account. We have that exact setup, with Hudson installed as a Windows service, although deploying it to Tomcat and running that as a service should work equally well. We use Sahi for our automated testing, which runs our test suite in both IE and Firefox.
You didn't say what problem you had with Watin, but in case it's relevant, Sahi needs to set the browser's HTTP proxy to a special host and port. This works no problems with Firefox because Sahi configures its proxy via a profile specified on the Firefox command line. IE is a little tricker, because its proxy settings are in the Windows registry, and when running as the LocalSystem account, these come from a special place in the registry (not HKCU as for a logged-in user). See this SF answer for the details. If that was the problem you were having, you may yet be able to achieve your goal of running everything on the Hudson box.
Have you checked here? This shows the Selenium Grid plug-in to Hudson.
