My question is when ever i hit the restapi URL from my selenium it ask for authentication to return data in JSON format as for the same i provide username and password... but its not accepting the username and password and SHows message "required uname and password. The server says : protected area"
This is only happening in the browser which is getting opened through selenium
when i normally open the browser it accept the uname and password
i tried on the IE, Chrome and mozilla and the same problem persist
Is there any way that when i run my code it should not open the new browser window rather than use the new tab in already opened browser ......

Once I enter user Name and click on login, it should ask for password but it is directly login into application. If I try manually it is working fine but through automation it is directly login in and failing as password field is not found. Below is the code for login
cy.visit("URL");
Cypress.session.clearAllSavedSessions();
cy.clearLocalStorage();
login(username,password).
Expected : Each time I launch browser and application, it should ask me password.
I am automating an internal application of my client which is having LDAP authentication.
I am using Selenium 3.141.59 with C#, Chrome browser 78.
Issue:
When I have open browser manually and place url then browser displaying sign-in Pop-up to enter the userID and password. (refer screenshot)
Same time when Selenium launch browser instance then navigate to same url, it's not showing any sign-in pop-up.
Due this I was unable to continue next steps in automation.
I have tried send the userID and password along with url as blow but it's also not redirecting.
https://userID:password#url
Can anyone help me, how to resolve this issue.
What you have tried is not supported any more. You now have to include authentication headers in requests. In your case I would recommend to set up a proxy which would add headers to all outcoming messages of your browser
For example you can use Browsermob Proxy that you can configure just in your tests. Some details of how basic authentication works you can find here. It is solution for Java, however you can find which headers to set up and which values to assign (In short: header - Authorization: Basic username:password Realm="" where username:password is credentials pair encoded in Base64).
This also might be useful for you: How do I encode and decode a base64 string?
UPD: This is solution for Python Selenium.
I am using watir(Ruby selenium package) to try and login to url using basic auth
I pass the credentials like so
https://username:password#nagios.com
However when the browser opens, i get a popup to enter the credentials again.
The code that i use is as follows
driver = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
driver.goto "https://username:password#nagios.com"
The above code opens the browser -> goes to the url but give the popup to enter the credentials again.
How do i login to the url using basic auth?
Turns out that Chrome has stopped supporting passing credentials in the url after version 52. more info https://medium.com/#lmakarov/say-goodbye-to-urls-with-embedded-credentials-b051f6c7b6a3
To fix this you need to set an argument --disable-blink-features="BlockCredentialedSubresources" while launching the browser. what this does is that it disable that feature
More info Bypass blocking of subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials
This is my final code which works
args = ['--disable-software-rasterizer',
'--disable-blink-features="BlockCredentialedSubresources"',
'--no-proxy-server',
'--disable-gpu',
'--no-sandbox',
'--ignore-certificate-errors']
driver = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, options: {args: args}
driver.goto "https://username:password#nagios.com"
While automating with selenium if a username and password is entered why doesn't
chrome browser show the option to save credentials as it does in regular
practice.
As mentioned in previous answer, new instance of WebDriver opens fresh browser window, without previous cookies etc.
What could you do is:
When you first start WebDriver and open login page, using selenium enter credentials, make sure you check "remember details" checkbox is present.
Now once you are logged in, you can get cookies from browser using:
driver.manage().getCookies();
You could get all cookies and save them in text file for example.
Next time you open fresh browser, before opening page, load cookies that you previously saved.
driver.manage().getCookies().add(cookie);
Because of the way the web-driver works, it deletes all cookies/caches of information which could accidentally fail a test, you'll notice it doesn't open an ordinary browser, its often a light-weight version of the browser.
If you want it to save cookies and caches you will A) have to specify this in your code, and B) you will have to test around the fact that you have saved passwords, so if you move your tests onto a different computer, the browsers cache will be different and your tests won't work anymore.
Actually The Webdriver Opens The Browser Without Cookies. if You Need To Save Your cookies,you can use these commands,
driver.manage().getCookieNamed(String arg);
driver.manage().getCookies();
driver.manage().getCookies().add(cookie);
All Three are use to Get The Cookie and Save The Cookie.
or
if The Browser Shows a Pop-up,to Save The User name name and Password use can use This,
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("chrome.switches", "--disable-extensions --disable-extensions-file-access-check --disable-extensions-http-throttling --disable-infobars --enable-automation --start-maximized");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("credentials_enable_service", false);
options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
I am trying to login to the site that has windows authentication enabled using URL "http://userName:pass#siteName.com" in selenium web driver. It is working fine in normal cases, however it doesn't work when the password contains a special character '#'.
I also tried to handle it using alert with following code, but it is also not working:
UserAndPassword up = new UserAndPassword("userName", "pass");
driver.switchTo().alert.authenticateUsing(up);
Please suggest how to escape this special character.
I am running my test cases in chrome browser.
