I am writing a simple Java code that uses Selenium ChromeDriver.
The flow is simple: The driver goes to a website --> find a HTML element and click it --> An authentication pop-up appears --> ...
But here the problem arises. The program could not continue after the click command, which is: "href.click()".
I MANUALLY entered the username and password to the authentication pop-up, and the print command only works AFTER that.
Even if I do not provides the authentication, the print command should still be activated after the click command has finished. But, in this case, it doesn't.
Which means, the click command "href.click()" only finishes when the authentication pop-up is already finished. But since the click is an atomic command, how and when am I supposed to enter the authentication details ?
I tried using an alert, or added any lines of codes AFTER the click line but none of them worked.
I also tried adding "driver.get("http://username:password@somesite.com/")", but it doesn't work also.
public void site_header_is_on_home_page() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "...\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://somesite.com/");
WebElement href = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://xyz.../']"));
href.click();
//Nothing works after this line.//
System.out.println("cccc");
}
The screen after the "driver.get("http://somesite.com/")" command
The screen after the click command. An authentication pop-up is issued
