Question

I am trying to handle authentication popup through my selenium test by passing username and password in URL.
I have tried following solutions:
I have tried to send username and password in URL
I have tried handling with alert, it doesn't work.
I have tried solutions provided in - How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java, almost all other than AutoIT, none of them worked for me
I have a Maven project, I am trying to send url with username and password from project.properties file, which looks like this -
URL = https://username:password#URL
open url code-
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate.to(URL);
I get below error in browser console:
"there has been a problem with your fetch operation: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request cannot be constructed from a URL that includes credentials"

Answer 1

I am able to handle this using AutoIT script.
The script looks something like this,
WinWaitActive("Sign in")
Sleep(5000)
Send("username")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("password")
Send("{ENTER}")
I run this script through my code,
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("(path)\AutoIt\script.exe");
driver.get(prop.getProperty(URL));
driver.navigate().refresh();
