Just started using the Robot Framework to test our application and I really like it so far. The option to combine it with Selenium, Appium and Locust.io in the end sounds appealing. Anyhow, I have a basic question:
I'm trying to log the cookies from a browser session to the console. Selenium2Library provides the keyword:
Get Cookies
Then I try in my test case:
Log Cookies To Console
${cookies}= Get Cookies
Log To Console ${cookies}
This doesn't seem to give me anything in the console.
Are you 100% sure there is an cookie anyway?
What I would do it :
try with another URL on which you know there actually is a cookie (www.google.com?)
try to add a cookie (keyword: add cookie) just before you log, so that you can see, at least, that the one you add is displayed
That could help you find out the source of your problem.

I want to automate requests on a website and when doing so, I need a session cookie in order to identify myself.
When checking the network tab, I can clearly see the session cookie, but when checking the Application tab, this cookie is not shown. After accessing this website with selenium and calling driver.get_cookies() with Python, I only get the cookies shown in the Application tab.
I need to do this with selenium because this way it's possible to login. Only using requests will not work.
I do not have many clues on how to get that cookie and have almost 0 experience in this field, hence my question.
I am running testcafe tests on an authentication page and I can see that testcafe is modifying/removing/adding the headers when sending the requests to the website and this is blocking me to do 2FA on this page
As soon as I got the issue, I tried to do the automation with Selenium just to confirm it is testcafe issue. As selenium doesn't create a proxy to insert the js scripts and automate the website I could do the automation with selenium, but I want to use testcafe as the site is developed in react.
await t.typeText(this.emailInput, config.userEmail)
.click(this.nextButton)
.typeText(this.passwordInput, config.userPassword)
.click(this.nextButton)
.click(this.otpOption)
.typeText(this.otpInput, this.token)
.click(this.signinButton)
}
When clicking on the next button I should have the 2FA form asking for the code, but I got a page saying was not possible to do the authentication (Something wrong happened) and I saw the response code for the BeginAuth endpoint was 222 without any response instead of 200.
The URL is that I am using to authenticate looks like this one:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/client uuid/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code%20id_token&response_mode=form_post&client_id=client uuid&scope=openid&x-client-Ver=4.0.0
Testcafe team found out this is a bug on testcafe-hammerhead, they have fixed and it is going to be included in the next release.
https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/2052
For now I am generating the cookie in the automation and sending it in the header.
I am trying to do a web test in VS2012 for an MVC site.
One of the scenarios is to login and go through a list of products, select the one you want and follow through to the purchase page.
Problem is that when the web test is run, I get an error about the anti forgery token and that it does not match.
How on earth is it possible to do the testing with the anti forgery token? The user must login - there will be thousands of users for the load test (eventually) but need to make it work for 1 user first.
the login view/action does do an AntiForgeryToken in the view and validation on the controller.
any advice and tips are appreciated.
Once you run your script and it fails, go to the call proceeding the one that fails.
Go to the response tab
In the body, find the __RequestVerificationToken name which is in an input tag and extract everything in between the value attribute.
Select the value and right click > add extraction rule and press OK.
You will find an Extraction rules folder and underneath it, the Extraction rule we just created. Feel free to rename the Context Parameter Name.
Go to the next page , which should be the one that failed, and find the Form Post Parameter named "__RequestVerificationToken". View it's properties
Bind it to the Context Parameter Name created previously. To do so, view the properties of this post parameter and set the "Value" to be:
{{Name Of Context Parameter}}
(Include the 2x curly braces)
Press enter to confirm/save
Next time you run the script - all works
This is how it worked for me...
I was seeing a similar problem. After recording a web test script, the script would fail at the point of log-in on with the following message:
The provided anti-forgery token was meant for user "Domain\UserName", but the current user is "".
The solution was to set the PreAuthenticate property to false in the test properties. By default the web tests will pass an authentication header to the server which was being used in the generation the token.
I am not familiar with "web testing in VS2012" but as I know "Anti-Forgery Token" requires sending the token from browser to the server back.
I had an experience with Selenium-Webdriver and suggest you use it because it provides an API to interact with supported browsers as real user does.
You can easily start using Selenium WebDriver if you add Selenium WebDriver 2.37.0 NuGet package to you test project.
Selenium-WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser using each
browser’s native support for automation. How these direct calls are
made, and the features they support depends on the browser you are
using.
Selenium-webdriver currently supports the following drivers:
Chrome
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Opera
HtmlUnit
Android
I have a webpage in a Liferay 5.2.3 site, in order to view this page the user shoulde be logged in.
i tried JMeter for stress testing but i stopped after i had this issue here ("invalid authentication token"). What other tool i could use to do stress test without facing the authentication issue (with example of script if its available).
I had the same problem. I managed to log in and then when sending POST requests to the server I only received 403. What I have done is that I set the auth.token.check.enabled to false in the portal-ext.properties.
auth.token.check.enabled=false
But be careful. The Portal Authentication Token was implemented to prevent Cross Site Request forgery, as explained here: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF).
On a production environment set the property back to true.
More about that on the liferay site: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Authentication+Token
Well I'm not sure but you could try Grinder, it supports jython as scripting language, although i dont have a working script example at the moment.
You can use JMeter but you have to use its proxy to record your actions (login included).
Please see JMeter proxy step by step
I need to test a web application using Selenium. The app is fairly common in its setup: it requires signing in for most of the functionality to be exposed. Upon loading a page, if the user is not authenticated, it will redirect to a login form and then back to the requested page once credentials are supplied.
What's the usual way to go around this with Selenium? I take it people are not logging in on every single test as this would cause significant overhead on big test suites. Is there a way to set up a session in a test and then use the cookie information for subsequent tests, or do a conditional sign-in (without incurring in massive code repetition!)?
I am using PHPUnit with Selenium ATM.
Thank you!

Most of the time, each test goes through the login form. However, if I'm writing a series of tests that are very short (< 10 seconds each) and there are a lot of them, I usually share the same browser instance across tests by moving the selenium start\close calls from the SetUp\TearDown methods to the Test Fixture SetUp\TearDown methods. This avoids the cost of re-authenticating as well as the cost of launching a new browser every time. I'm sure you can do something similar with PHPUnit.
If this is basic http auth you can use the username/password with the url request as documented in the Selenium FAQ: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SEL/Selenium+Core+FAQ#SeleniumCoreFAQ-HowdoIuseSeleniumtologintositesthatrequireHTTPbasicauthentication%28wherethebrowsermakesamodaldialogaskingforcredentials%29%3F
How do I use Selenium to login to
sites that require HTTP basic
authentication (where the browser
makes a modal dialog asking for
credentials)?
Use a username and password in the
URL, as described in RFC 1738: Test
Type open
http://myusername:myuserpassword#myexample.com/blah/blah/blah
Note that on Internet Explorer this
won't work, since Microsoft has
disabled usernames/passwords in URLs
in IE. However, you can add that
functionality back in by modifying
your registry, as described in the
linked KB article. Set an
"iexplore.exe" DWORD to 0 in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE.
If you don't want to modify the
registry yourself, you can always just
use Selenium Remote Control, which
automatically sets that that registry
key for you as of version 0.9.2.
