How to handle browser authentication in Chrome using Selenium Webdriver (C#)?

Question

I am writing an automation script for Chrome browser in selenium web driver using C#. I got stuck in a scenario where multiple tabs are getting open in the same browser and I need to navigate to the first Tab of a browser and need to re-enter the login credentials in the authentication dialog box.

Please find the below screenshot for authorization window:

I am unable to navigate to the first tab and unable to pass the username & password. I found some answers in the Stackoverflow and tried in my script but nothing went right. Here is my sample code:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
IAlert alert = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.AlertIsPresent());
alert.SetAuthenticationCredentials(username, pwd);

After executing the above code, the following error is coming:

WebDriverWait has some invalid arguments. Argument '2': cannot convert from 'int' to 'System.TimeSpan'

Is there any specific code for Chrome browser? I am using Visual studio 2008.

Solution

Try getting the URL like this...

driver.get("http://username:[email protected]");

Using the Alert class like this post here(How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java) apparently only works in IE.

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        IAlert alert = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.AlertIsPresent());
        alert.SetAuthenticationCredentials("username", "password")

As I mentioned that i searched some threads in Stackoverflow but it did not work in my script. So there is no point to mark it duplicate.

See: How do I do X? The expectation on SO is that the user asking a question not only does research to answer their own question but also shares that research, code attempts, and results. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and most of all it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer!

You mentioned it but you didn't provide any details. Until you do some research and actually provide details that demonstrate how the solutions provided elsewhere don't work here and the results, it hasn't been proven that it's not a duplicate.

Hi Cavan thanks for your reply, I tried your line of code but it gave me an error. WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); IAlert alert = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.AlertIsPresent()); alert.SetAuthenticationCredentials(UserLogin.username, UserLogin.pwd); - Error "Argument '2': cannot convert from 'int' to 'System.TimeSpan'". Is there any specific code for Chrome browser?

I have updated code to c#. before it was java which had slightly different syntax.

Thanks Cavan, I tried with driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("username:[email protected]"‌​) with some tricks and I am able to handle the authentication alert window.

Thanks @smith9234 for your reply. I tried driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("username:[email protected]"‌​‌​) with some tricks and able to handle the authentication dialog box.
