Please note, this question is Python 3.5.2, only Python answers will be accepted. Unless this can definitely be handled in Java? Automating a process as part of an internal project. Everything works just fine using the IE webdriver, but not phantomJS web driver (which is expected due to limited functionality). However, a work-around / solution is required.
When opening the internal site, a Windows Security login dialog box comes up prompting for a username, password and press 'Ok'. With the IE web driver, it is handled just fine with:
loginAlert = driver.switch_to_alert()
loginAlert.authenticate(username, password)
The javascript:
driver.execute_script("window.confirm = function(){return true;}")
Being run before loading the page that gives the prompt, doesn't seem to confirm the login alert, for either phantom or IE. Even if it did, this doesn't type in the login details. As mentioned, it's a Windows Security prompt from the browser, not an element.
Once logged in, the page is reloaded with an ASP.NET_SessionId Cookie which expires once the session is ended. I've tried logging in through IE, then adding the cookie into Phantom, but it doesn't seem to match up the domains.
I've tried using:
driver.save_screenshot(filename) to see what's happening in phantom
Which works with IE driver, but with PhantomJS, only a transparent image is saved. The whole http://username:[email protected] thing doesn't work for either IE or phantom driver. It can't load / use the URL when this is done.
How can the Windows Security login dialog be handled, or worked around? I tried looking into alternatives, such as pyvirtualdisplay, but found no information on how to get this working with Python 3 on windows.
I have also tried setting phantomjs desired capabilities custom header authentication, but that doesn't seem to do anything for this either.
I have also tried using ActionChains, however they don't work when the Alert is there (in either IE or phantom driver). An UnexpectedAlertPresentException is thrown, even if this is caught and you try to perform the actions, once caught, the alert seems to close.
