Authentication Pop up displayed by Chrome is available in Inspect tool but not in PageSource

See original GitHub issue

Hello @yodurr and Team,

I was trying to fill userid and password for an authentication Pop up displayed by Chrome browser I see that Inspect tool was able to recognize the edit boxes but when I tried findElement using XPath those elements are not available.

chrome-authenticationpopup-available-in-inspect

I checked the Page Source, these elements are not available. Below is the Page Source

  <Window AcceleratorKey="" AccessKey="" AutomationId="" ClassName="Chrome_WidgetWin_1" FrameworkId="Win32" HasKeyboardFocus="False" HelpText="" IsContentElement="True" IsControlElement="True" IsEnabled="True" IsKeyboardFocusable="True" IsOffscreen="False" IsPassword="False" IsRequiredForForm="False" ItemStatus="" ItemType="" LocalizedControlType="window" Name="/Desktop/HomePage/Default.aspx - Google Chrome" Orientation="None" ProcessId="8696" RuntimeId="42.853252" x="0" y="0" width="0" height="0" CanMaximize="True" CanMinimize="True" IsModal="False" WindowVisualState="Normal" WindowInteractionState="ReadyForUserInteraction" IsTopmost="False" CanRotate="False" CanResize="True" CanMove="True" IsAvailable="True">

    </TitleBar>
  </Window>

I even tried finding all child elements using XPath i.e. “.//*” Below is the chunk of code

IWebElement ChromeWindow = desktopSession.FindElementByClassName("Chrome_WidgetWin_1");

IList<IWebElement> editChilds = ChromeWindow.FindElements(By.XPath(".//*"));
Console.WriteLine(editChilds.Count);
            foreach(IWebElement e in editChilds){
                Console.WriteLine(e.GetAttribute("innerHTML"));
                Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
                Console.WriteLine(e.TagName);
            }

Below is the output I have got.

chrome-authenticationpopup-available-in-inspect-chromechilds-output

Can anyone provide any input about this discrepancy? Do we have any workaround for this?

Hi @khouzam @yodurr @timotiusmargo

I can confirm that the RC2 version is now identifying the Chrome Authentication pop up dialog. I just tested it and it worked like a charm!

IWebElement chromeWindow = desktopSession.FindElementByXPath(".//Window[contains(@ClassName,'Chrome') ]");

IWebElement SecurityPopupWindow = chromeWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Custom[@Name='Authentication required']"));

SecurityPopupWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Edit[@Name='Username']")).Clear(); SecurityPopupWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Edit[@Name='Username']")).SendKeys(data[0]);//To Enter User Id SecurityPopupWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Edit[@Name='Password']")).Clear(); SecurityPopupWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Edit[@Name='Password']")).SendKeys(data[1]);//To Enter Password SecurityPopupWindow.FindElement(By.XPath(".//Button[@Name='Log in']")).Click();//To click Log in

Out of curiosity I tried for Firefox Authentication Pop up as well, and I can see those elements in Page Source.

Thanks for prioritizing this one! Regards PD
