I'm trying to use robot framework as a ui test tooling for a website we use internal.
To test different user roles I open the browser with basic authentication (http://user:ww#url). Unfortunately this methode is removed from chrome and chromedriver (http://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5669008342777856) (for the test I use PhantomJS).
because of this issue subresource requests are blocked. See image attached.
Because of this issue also js files are blocked and therefore my UI tests don't work properly.
Does anybody have an idee on how to solve this or another way of testing?
This issue is being encountered by all browser automation frameworks. This SO answer describes an approach to take a two step approach:
Go to the url with http://user:pass#hostname.ext
Go to the url with http://hostname.ext
The username and password are cached and subsequent visits will reuse it.

I am trying to automate login to my app which uses among others, google sso authentication.
However login form return error "This browser or app may not be secure.". I set my google account options to allow less secure apps but still nothing.
I browsed few topics:
GMail is blocking login via Automation (Selenium)
Selenium Google Login Block
Automation Google login with python and selenium shows ""This browser or app may be not secure""
And it seems that google is blocking this way at all in favor of oauth.
People write in these topics that solutions stopped working recently
So is it currently possible, to set ChromeDriver somehow using capabalities, to be able to login through SSO?. I need a simple solution, that will run headless with other scripts on cloud (not something that would require me to manually login first on another instance as one anwser suggests).
If its not possible or extremly complicated please tell me I will not waste time on it.
If you want to use chrome capabilities, what you can do is set the user-data-dir to a chrome profile that has already been signed in using SSO.
You should look up how to reuse chrome profiles with selenium.
If your accounts have 2 steps verifications, google believe it's safer and allows you to get login. Then the issue will be how to handle the 2 steps verifications. Working on that :/
I am trying to run some automated tests on amazon.com by using Selenium Webdriver. I tried to log in to the system but after entering the password, system either directs to “Verification needed” page and says “We will email you a code to verify your identity. This is required when something about your sign-in activity changes, like signing in from a new device or location.”
or directs to “wrong password or email” page (eventhough I try correct account information).
So my question is: How can I handle that two factor authentication in my test script?
Note: I am using ChromeDriver and Java
there are two possible approaches:
first one, you can as Kiril S mentioned, get the link from email (mailinator.com is fine inbox for such testing).
second approach is avoiding the second verification with existing browser profile. Selenium uses a temporary profile, that's probably the reason of the second verification. I'm using existing browser profile (firefox), see Selenium Chromedriver - Open Chrome Normally. For Chrome should be similar.
Execute tests with the same browser type concurrently which use the same cookies?
Scenario: Run multiple tests (x3) as the same time which all use firefox.
Currently if a item gets added to the basket it causes the tests to fail because all instances of the browser are using the same cookies.
Is it possible to use the same browser more than once at the same time even if web cookies are involved?
Maybe require the use of browser profiles?
Thanks for your help
I'm not sure, but first idea is to use different user (who is logged in to firefox) for each test. I think they should have different cookies.
I have a strange request for a project - we have a text file containing a list of login credentials for Dropbox for around 10 users. I have to validate their credentials automatically and notify the users if login fails with their credentials.
I've looked at the dropbox API, but that uses OAuth, which requires the user to manually fill in credentials, but that doesn't do the trick for me.
Is there a way for me to check if a bunch of logins? I've looked at the DropboxUpload repository on github, but it works fine for single user logins, but fails to achieve what I want when it comes to checking the same thing for multiple users.
Any help/leads on how I should go about proceeding with this would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
John
You can use dropbox webpage to check user credentials doing normal login/logout but in an automated way.
To create a "bot" which will login and logout and check if credentials are correct you can use Selenium.
Selenium is a framework for testing web page ui but it can also be used to create automated checker/tester/bot for what you need.
It is also possible to setup selenium in a such way that it will use renderless browser engine so no browser will be visible during test/check. This also speeds up the process of testing.
I hope this will help you if you'll not find any better way and can be used as a final solution since it is not the best way to check credentials
Is there a way to test logging into a site with open id using Selenium?
In Selenium all the tests live in the server, so once filled the open id URL in the appropriate field in the web page I am taken to the 3rd party web page for entering the credentials and my test can't run anymore.
Is there a way around this?
Yes - use Selenium RC. It gets around the cross-domain problem of basic Selenium Core and allows you to script against multiple sites.
I guess, technically speaking, you could include a really dumb OpenID server on your testing domain, but Patrick's suggestion of a testing framework that supports cross-domain operations sounds like a much better idea.
Although, I guess that depends on what you're trying to test. It could be that using a third party OpenID server is bad for your tests, because a change to the UI of that server could cause your tests to break. Or maybe you want to make sure that your code is interoperating correctly with that server, in which case using the 3rd party is exactly what you want to test.
