Handle Security warining

[Litha K]

Hi all,

I may be repeating this question regarding pop-ups, but all my
searches were in vain, hence apologies.

I am using watir-webdriver on a linux box and in one of my make
payment flows I am getting a security warning with 'Cancel' and
'Continue' options. How do I click Continue in this instance.

On windows box I can use autoit for sendKeys("ENTER"), so please
advice?

Many thanks,
Kay

Litha,

Did you try this solution?

Good luck,

Could you provide some more details about what this security warning
looks like? A screenshot or the text of the warning would be helpful.

Hi Jari,

Sorry couldn't find the option to upload an image. Please find the
text:

Security warning:

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is
to be sent over an uncrypted connection and could be easily be read by
a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this
information?

Cancel Continue.



FYI, I have also tried to suppress the warning in firefox options. Any
help would be much appreciated.



Thanks,
Kay

OK. The proper solution is obviously to fix the app under test to not
use HTTP from an HTTPS page.

Failing that, here's how you can tweak Firefox preferences:

1. Find the preference you want to change in about:config
2. Create a new Firefox profile and set the preference:

tweaked_profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
tweaked_profile["some.preference"] = false

3. Create a new driver, passing in the profile

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => fixed_profile

4. Wrap the driver in a Watir::Browser instance

browser = Watir::Browser.new(driver)

It looks like WebDriver sets some relevant preferences to the correct
value though, see:
