here's the situation: I load a website A in incognito mode using Selenium Chrome Webdriver. In this website there is a iframe loading information from website B. Chrome Incognito mode blocks the iframe contents because treats it as a 3rd party cookie.
If I allow the cookies from the website B the conents of the iframe show up. If I don't use the incognito mode the contents also show up. However, after manually allowing cookies in Chrome setting it only works during this session. And I need the incognito mode in other tests so I don't want to change configuration between the tests.
Is there a way to set up the Webdriver to allow the cookies from the 3rd party website?

I am trying to open a Visualforce page in Firefox using an automation tool (Web driver). While trying this, every time automated browser open the VF page it shows:
We can't display this page because your browser blocks cross-domain
cookies. Try again with a different supported browser.
How to run automation test script for the VisualForce Pages?
The issue here is I'm trying to scrape a value which is displayed in a current webpage that I'm in and selenium has to capture that value and do certain operations accordingly. The value is dynamic and that webpage can not be reopened through selenium.
The websites can only authenticate the browsers using Cookies which are basically special HTTP Headers so if the browser sends the cookie the websites expects - the website "recognizes" the user and vice versa.
If you want to continue where you left off with Selenium you need to export cookies somehow from the existing session and add them to the browser which is driven by Selenium, there are several API methods which allow cookie manipulation, refer your Selenium client library documentation for specific instructions.
I want to support window authentication pop up for login to the application using Protractor using chrome headless browser. Is there any way in which I can make it work?
I have already tried:
Chrome authentication extensions - https://www.npmjs.com/package/authenticator-browser-extension
Loading URL in the below format:
http://username:password#url.com which did not work out.
I want to automate an application for an upload process with selenium.Therefore I am using geckodriver. Right now I am doing the login site headless but I want to do the login by the user and then change to headless. Is there a way to do that or at least a work around?
There is no way to do that using the same browser instance... The headless flag is a setting passed to the browser on startup and there is no way to dynamically change that.
If the site uses cookie-based authentication, here is an alternate approach:
login with browser in normal (GUI) mode
export saved cookies
instantiate a new browser in headless mode
navigate to the site again with the headless driver
add saved cookies to the new headless driver
... at that point, you can navigate to an authenticated page. You should be "logged in" since you are re-using the cookies from the original browser session.
I am using selenium to perform screen scraping on some application(url).I am using IE/Firefox driver.Can we open the browser which selenium opens in an iframe instead of opening it in a new window.To be more precise driver.get should open the url in an iframe and not a window.
No. You can't open a browser inside an IFRAME. The contents of an IFRAME are always displayed by the same browser that displays the IFRAMEing page.
How to work around this strongly depends on what you are trying to accomplish and on whether you are using Selenium 1 (a browser plugin that rewrites pages by injecting JavaScript into them) or Selenium 2 (which uses WebDriver to communicate with browsers). But I'm pretty sure you'd need to rewrite some of the Selenium software.
