Browser authentication required dialog

[Jordi Cabeza]

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any other way in nightwatch to deal with the http basic authentication than use http://username:password@url because it does not always work and the tests sometimes keep running forever waiting the credentials in the dialog opened by the browser.

Regards,
Jordi

I am also facing the same problem :(

Is it a limitation now?

Thanks & Regards,

Same problem here, although I thought the "username" and "access_key" variables declared in the nightwatch.json were supposed to be used for basic auth. Mine are not.

[GrayedFox]

Replying to my own post before - please don't confuse the username and access_key vars as 'basic auth' ones. They are selenium based authenticators which can optionally be used for authenticating against cloud solutions. Best solution for basic auth is the good old URL way. Try: 

```

browser.url('https://' + userName + ':' + password + '@' + yourUrl)

```

Unfortunately the URL solution won't work for IE so I'm back to square one and can't figure out how to get past it.

Have you tried encoding the username and password to Base64 and attaching it as the required auth header?

Hi Folks,

I am facing a similar hurdle and wondering if any one got past this kind of browser authentication.
Tried `http://username:password@url` but didnt work for me.

Any other way?

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,
