Hi I am using Selenium WebDriver with Java. So I have a website A from which after I fill form I go to website B but before it asks a Basic Authentication Username and Password.
I read in SO that, Basic Authentication Support Is not provided in Selenium.
I read somewhere I can use ROBOT Class(not sure what do u mean by that in Java) but it is risky to use.
I am not sure how to handle this event as after I reach to B I have to do some more validations before Passing the test case.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.
I think you should be able to overcome it by using the following URL
http://username:password#www.example.com/
Don't forget to give a / at the end. I think you can refer this

I am looking for a way to fill basic authorization popup in Safari 13 in automated session. I want to log in to website which require such login. Solution can be even manual. Is there any way to do that?
List of solution which I tried:
Fill form manually. Issue: Safari 13 blocks any interaction with automated browser. As far as I know there is no way to do it and then continue with automated session.
Use selenium to fill the form. Issue: Safari does not support such feature.
Use http://login:password#site.com. Issue: Safari 13 does not support such feature.
Add authorization header using proxy. Issue: Some sites does not work the same with proxy. I tried browsermob-proxy and mitmproxy but site did not works the same as without proxy.
Add authorization header using proxy and then refresh page without proxy. Issue: Header is not saved in browser. Authorization is required after refresh.
Use ApplyScript or other to fill the form. Issue: Safari 13 blocks any interaction with automated browser.
Safari extension with authorization header. Issue: as far as I know safari extension does not support any headers modification.
Use Keychain access. Issue: It can not be used in automated session.
Based on a few GitHub issues, I'm not sure if this is possible to achieve given all of the workarounds you have already tried.
This issue is detailing the Safari basic auth issue, closed as out-of-scope for Selenium:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/5610
Which a Selenium developer then links to a still-open, larger-scope issue, in the WebDriver spec repository:
https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/issues/385
It seems like the basic auth support you are looking to achieve needs to be implemented by W3C contributors, not by Selenium developers.
All of the solutions you have mentioned trying seem to be the only available workarounds out there, and without a supported Selenium solution or fully-functioning workaround, this issue may not be solvable.
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.
My scenario:
I am opening a https website, I get a login pop-up that is not identified by selenium webdriver. I have searched and found the below link which had similar question.
How to handle login pop up window using Selenium WebDriver?
I tried he solution given by #Pavel Janicek to pass the credentials via URL
It does not working for me, I mean after the browser is opened it keeps processing nothing happens after that.
In my case, it is a https site,i need to give username#domainname & password to login, giving only username will not work
my url looks like this
https://username#domainname:password#sitename.com
Has anyone faced this kind of problem?
Thanks
You can NOT auth with this window(in selenium without any additional framework as Robot). But you can auth without getting this window. Try change URL to: http://user:password#www.yourserveradress.com
if this will not help, you need to create separated profile in browser, pass authentication on this server and remember password and use this profile in selenium. Also I think its possible to use Windows active directory authentication, but cannot sure about details.
I am looking for a good way to use Selenium with Digest Authentication (for a flex UI though I don't think that makes a difference if I can't do authentication). I'd like to avoid platform-dependencies such as using AutoIT to drive browser pop-ups (since cross-platform testing is a motivator for going to Selenium), though if there's a good cross-platform library for doing such things that would work fine.
I'm thinking maybe there is a way to use a separate http client to create a session and then pass the session credentials off to the browser, but I'm not sure how to inject the session ID into the browser requests. That's just an idea I had, not sure how feasible it is.
You could try using an HTTP proxy, such as AuthProxy by #CarlYoungblood.
It's an HTTP proxy server written in Ruby which was developed specifically for testing a server that required basic authentication with Selenium, but it should also work on a server with digest authentication.
Simply explained, you cannot automate a Flex UI from Selenium, as it doesn't handle Flash for testing (you can embed the flash plugin in your browser, but Selenium won't be able to test against flash component...)
Even if you can authenticate, you won't be able to test anything, so, you should try something else, like Sikuli
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.
