Basic Auth (htaccess) via acceptPopup

[testracer]

Hi, I try to have questions which helps :)
i`m driving an CodeceptJS with WebriverIO, to learn IT

What are you trying to achieve?

1. I want to Send Alert Text to an alert-window (as htaccesslogin) + accept this Popup-Window
   (inspite of using basic-auth embedded in url via @ would be an working solution)
   

What I figured out is:

• in Doku of WebdriverIO I found: sendAlertText

I have 2 questions:

(?) Why I can not find #sendAlertText in my JS-Ide ?

• and #acceptAlert also not

(?) And but why the hell my Ide knows (makes suggetions) for this method: acceptPopup
and all the other codecept methods. From where my Ide (visu studio code) is knowing them? How?!

I ask this stupid questions because I think I need in my test:
I.sendAlertText('user_string');
I.pressKey('Tab');
I.sendAlertText('pwd_string');
I.acceptAlert();

Thnx for any message!

Hi, probably in a future versions we will provide some simplified way to pass this authorization, but for use the common approach from Selenium WebDriver. Add user and password to url string of your website URL:

// inside codecept.conf.js
WebDriver: {
  url: ''http://user:password@yourwebsite.de",
}

See https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/12892/how-to-send-basic-authentication-headers-in-selenium

This can be easily done by puppeteer -> #1962

[testracer]

-thnx-

@peterngtr

can be easily done by puppeteer

(?) May I ask: Is it possible to configure CodeceptJS with both helpers: 'Pupeteer' and 'Webdriver'?

• No, i do remember the 'codeceptjs init' which means for me: i have to decide which helper I want to use;
  -- So I can not use:

helpers: {
   Webdriver: {
      url: 'https://www.dev-domain.de",
   },
   Puppeteer : {
        url: 'https://www.dev-domain.de",
        basicAuth: { username: 'postman', password: 'password' },
        show: true
    },
 }

(I have fear to do something without understandig: whatwhy)

@DavertMik
1. thank u for your advice:

//inside codecept.conf.js i have already set url
WebDriver: {
   url: 'https://www.dev-domain.de",
}

• But the Basic auth comes suddenly in a szenario number2 where I have to go to admin to delete a new dealer:
  I.amOnPage("/service/user-admin/user/list:);
• Only there comes the htaccess-Popup
• And I should not set url: 'http://user:password@dev-dmomain.de", for ALL steps, right? or should i do that

2. and thank u for your link to: /how-to-send-basic-authentication-headers-in-selenium
-> there I stand in the forest

@testracer I included the wdio in the same PR #1962

[testracer]

@peterngtr
Thank you verry much!
(?) have i to update my wdio package after PR #1962 is merged and deployed into master?

WebDriver : {
   basicAuth:
}

[kobenguyent]

@testracer for testing purpose, cause it's on a separate branch, you can replace the codeceptjs version in your package.json with this:

from

...
"codeceptjs": "2.3.3"
...

to

...
"codeceptjs": "PeterNgTr/CodeceptJS#feat-puppeteer-send-basic-auth"
...

and the configuration could be:

// Example with basic authentication
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
smartWait: 5000,
 browser: "chrome",
basicAuth: {username: 'username', password: 'password'},
restart: false,
 windowSize: "maximize",
 timeouts: {
 "script": 60000,
"page load": 10000
  }
  }
  }
}

@peterngtr
Do I smething wrong?:

• i did change my package.json
• i did change my configuration for WebDriver
• an i did restart selenium-standalone

(?) Unfortunately I do not have a new browser.url if i use now in my test:
I.amOnPage("/service/user-admin/user/list");

[kobenguyent]

@testracer can you pass the full url like https:// to I.amOnPage(...)?

[testracer]

@peterngtr
Sorry, same behaviour

[kobenguyent]

@testracer could you delete your local node_modules and run npm i one more time?

[testracer]

@peterngtr Sry to trouble you,
unfortunately I can not find the error by myself.

I still do not have new browser.url

And I do not realy understand your last advice:

delete your local node_modules and run npm i one more time

• I did not install additional node_modules local:

//did just install ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install default-jre
$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm
$ sudo apt install gdebi-core
$ npm install codeceptjs webdriverio selenium-standalone --save-dev
$ npx selenium-standalone install

And for driving CodeceptJS i use this npx realy often in console without knowing why
(Maybe my Installation is not as you expect in your dependencies)

delete your local node_modules and run npm i one more time

You dont mean to delete this folder, right?

[kobenguyent]

@testracer exactly, delete that folder and try doing npm install again.

[testracer]

@peterngtr
I did delete all folders in /node_modules
then i did
$ npx codeceptjs run 02_test.js
(without npx codeceptjs is unknown)

It could not load helper WebDriver from module './helperWebdriver':
Requ modules are not installed.

console says: I have run:
$sudo nmpm install -g webdriverio^5.2.2

I did restart my
$npx selenium-standalone start

It throw new error now:
Missing /home/testrace/.npm_npx/node_modules/selenium-standalone/./selenium/chromdriver/...

Sorry for delay but I can not do copypaste inspite of:

Thank u for your message.

[kobenguyent]

@testracer let’s do this:

• delete node_modules
• npm i
• npm i webdriverio@5 —save
• npm i selenium-standalone —save (this to save this lib to your package.json file)
• npx selenium-standalone install
• npx selenium-standalone start

And then I believe you will be able to run codeceptjs

[testracer]

@peterngtr
Thank u very much for your approach! for newby console-questions i should not disturb u -> I ask in ubuntu-forums about your red-line in:

let’s do this:
...

codecept running again. :)
and I have new folder /node_modules !

but I dont have new browser.url

(?) Can u see a stupid mistake here:
tomorrow they will say: do you see, automatic tests are not worth the effort; but I dont think so. I will show it to them. No panic.
Do u see a stup-mistake her:
