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 ?

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?
To set the scene: I work in a highly restricted SOE. I can only sign in as a standard user, but have administrative access through "Run as other user" or "Run as administrator".
When trying to setup GitHub access, VSCode running as administrator opens an authentication window in a browser that then wants to re-open VSCode. The issue is, reopening VSCode in this manner only opens as the standard user, not running as administrator. This happens connected to the internet through the work network, and via hotspot.
I am NOT permitted to sign-in directly as administrator.
My colleague has told me there used to be a way to sign in by copying and pasting a token directly into VSCode, but this appears to no longer be an option.
Is there another way to authenticate GitHub with VSCode, other than the web-based sign-in?
Thanks
I was able to work around this some time ago by getting a Personal Access Token working.
The environment I'm forced to work in made even this difficult, but got there eventually.
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.
(List of other command line switches for Chromium can be found here)
How to auto fill the user name and password in the pop up using selenium in Linux(Ubuntu)
I am using selenium web driver to perform the automation tests for a web application. When I give the URL to the browser it immediately pop ups asking for username and password which I actually want to automate from the script. (This I want to do for Linux platform not for Windows)
I've never done it with Linux, but I'm assuming its the same. Instead of typing url.com/otherstuff/, do username:password#url.com/otherstuff/
When the browser launch is initiated by SeleniumRC, a dialog box always comes to ask for username/password to login to our proxy server (however, it is prepopulated with username/password, all has to be done is just press the OK button).
selenium.open("/");
selenium.type("q", "selenium rc");
selenium.click("btnG");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("10000");
assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Results * for selenium rc"));
// These are the real test steps
//selenium.stop();
After the first command, the dialog box appears and I want to dispose of that dialog box PROGRAMMATICALLY. Any help?
I don't think you'll be able to address this just by using Selenium, that modal dialog is outside the JavaScript boundaries in which selenium works.
The two alternatives I can think of are:
Using WebDriver (soon to be merged into selenium 2.0): has native support over the browser, which allows you to do that kind of stuff.
Using an OS level automation library just for clicking that prompt and you go back to selenium with the rest. The libs available for this things are language dependent, so you will find a lot of different options as Robot for java or pyWinAuto for python.
Update: New alternative:
You can use autoIT as a simple and fast solution under windows.
