When I open a webpage which is in foreign language using selenium webdriver in chrome, it isn't automatically translated to English. How do I over ride this behavior?When I manually open the same page it is being translated automatically. Is there some kind of configuration in chrome driver that disables automatic translation? Is there a way to enable the same?
Did you try loading your Chrome WebDriver using you current user profile ?
I think that should do the trick for you.
String userProfile= "C:\\Users\\<your user dir>\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\";
ChromeOptions objOptions = new ChromeOptions();
objOptions.addArguments("user-data-dir=" + userProfile);
objOptions.addArguments("--start-maximized");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(objOptions);
driver.navigate.to("<your url here>");

In my Selenium-Test (with chromedriver-2.24) I'm trying to access my webpage via basic authentication with the following statement:
WebDriver driver = ...;
driver.get("http://admin:admin#localhost:8080/project/");
But Google Chrome gives me the following warning in the console:
[Deprecation] Subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials (e.g. https://user:pass#host/) are blocked. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5669008342777856 for more details.
In the tagged link is mentioned that the support was dropped:
Drop support for embedded credentials in subresource requests. (removed)
My question now is, is there an other way to basic-authenticate from Selenium?
NOTE: this has not helped: How to Handle HTTP Basic Auth headers in Selenium Webdriver using Java ?
The basic authentication via url is blocked only for sub resources.
So you could still use it on the domain:
driver.get("http://admin:admin#localhost:8080");
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/project");
You could also create a small extension to automatically set the credentials when they are requested:
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_extension(r'C:\dev\credentials.zip')
https://gist.github.com/florentbr/25246cd9337cebc07e2bbb0b9bf0de46
There were some updates in this link as :
Chromium Issue 435547 Drop support for embedded credentials in subresource requests. (removed)
We should block requests for subresources that contain embedded credentials (e.g. "http://ima_user:hunter2#example.com/yay.tiff"). Such resources would be handled as network errors.
However, Basic Authentication functionality still works with Selenium 3.4.0, geckodriver v0.18.0, chromedriver v2.31.488763, Google Chrome 60.x and Mozilla Firefox 53.0 through Selenium-Java bindings.
Here is the example code which tries to open the URL http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth with a valid set of credentials and it works.
Firefox:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class BasicAuthentication_FF
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.navigate().to("http://admin:admin#the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth");
}
}
Chrome:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class BasicAuthentication_Chrome
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.navigate().to("http://admin:admin#the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth");
}
}
Florent B.'s approach of calling .get on the URL twice worked for me with a slight modification. In JS:
driver
.get('http://admin:admin#localhost:8080')
.then( () => driver.get('http://localhost:8080') )
working on google chrome 62.0.3202.94 with ChromeDriver 2.33.506092 and the approach seems compatible with firefox 56.0.2 with geckodriver 0.19.1, and phantomjs 2.1.1 all under Debian linux 9.
What I believe is happening is the first call sets up the Authorization header sent by the browser. The second call removes the credentials from the URL and the credentials no longer are applied to subresources. The then synchronizes the two requests ensuring order.
New features for chrome and basic authentication via remote-debug: just for linking it here, so people who are stuck can find a solution for chrome and more: Chrome remote debugging in a seleniumgrid
Selenium 4 supports basic authentication
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
HasAuthentication authentication = (HasAuthentication) driver;
authentication.register(() -> new UsernameAndPassword("username", "pwd"));
driver.get("your-site.com");
https://www.selenium.dev/blog/2021/a-tour-of-4-authentication/
Such Basic authentication will not be supported directly using the selenium driver.get(URL) method to load a URL prompting for authentication within a JavaScript Popup, I was also stuck here for a long time. It's because of Chrome driver will not allow such authentication techniques after the update 59 (probably). There are still backdoors via Selenium using the JavaScript engine in the browser to load such URLs.
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
URL = "https://username:password#www.example.com";
jse.executeScript("window.open('"+URL+"')");
I need to load URL which has authentication pop up. I used http://username:password#exampl.com format to access the website via selenium webdriver on chrome browser.
But this support seems t be dropped in latest chrome browser, So loading the url is not successful. Browser keeps loading for a long time with no response from server.
Is there any alternate way to overcome authentication pop-up with selenium webdrier ? I know we can use sikui,autoit etc.But i need to run the same code on many platforms - Win/Mac/mobile/tablet.
So please let know how to overcome this.
I am using Selenium 3.4.0 and Chromedriver 2.31, and loading a URL with authentication credentials works fine for me.
As per I know chorme stop URL authentication from chrome 60.x version.
You can try below code or downgrade your chrome version
The Alert Method, authenticateUsing() lets you skip the Http Basic Authentication box.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));
Hope it help you :)
When loading a web page, it sometimes keep hanging on loading sites like "google analytics", "gstatic.com", etc.
It sometimes hangs forever.
Is there a way to disable this behavior?
Working with Selenium 3.4.0 along with the latest chromedriver 2.29 & latest Google Chrome 58.0 to restrict the loading of the sites you can take help of pageLoadStrategy through DesiredCapabilities Class as follows:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
DesiredCapabilities c1 = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
c1.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
c1.setCapability("pageLoadStrategy", "none");
WebDriver driver1 = new ChromeDriver(c1);
Navigation navigate = driver1.navigate();
navigate.to("https://gmail.com");
Disclaimer:
Using this capability you cannot be sure if the HTML DOM have completely loaded or not for you to continue working with the WebElements present on that Webpage.

How can I suppress or automatically dismiss the client certificate selection dialog with selenium (chrome driver)?
I can't use this certificate, because it is stored on a chip card and I would have to enter a PIN. If no card is available, our website used a credential based login and I want to test this.
I found a solution to this problem:
You must use chrome parameter - AutoSelectCertificateForUrls
Add this to the windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\AutoSelectCertificateForUrls\1 = "{"pattern":"https://yoursite.com","filter":{}}"
In linux you need this file set:
$HOME/etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/auto_select_certificate.json
With this content:
{
"AutoSelectCertificateForUrls": [ "{\"pattern\":\"*\",\"filter\":{}}" ]
}
With this set it should allow every installed client certificate automatically.
Detailed article about how to solve it in C# with Docker can be found in an article I wrote here:
https://sgedda.medium.com/running-selenium-with-chromedriver-together-with-client-certificate-set-in-headful-mode-with-net-a79bde19e472
Try to launch chrome using "--ignore-certificate-errors" and "--ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests" arguments.
ChromeOptions opts = new ChromeOptions();
opts.addArguments("ignore-certificate-errors","ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(opts);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
System.out.println("Title:" + driver.getTitle());
Try below code. It worked for me:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests");
webDriver = New ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
I'm writing some selenium tests for a HTML5 player playing DRM content, the player works fine in Chrome when I test it manually, but nothing is loaded or played in the latest chrome driver if I run my test cases.
Is it because of the drm content isn't authorized to play in chrome driver or something else?
I have no issues running tests for other functions written in selenium.
Any ideas?
Chromedriver launches Chrome with --disable-component-update switch by default, which disables the NaCl (Native Client) support, which is in turn required to load DRM modules (e.g. Widevine Modular DRM).
To get around this, you need to tell the driver not to launch Chrome with this switch, by building the driver with excludeSwitches option, specifying disable-component-update parameter. For example (JS):
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var chrome = require("selenium-webdriver/chrome");
var capabilities = new webdriver.Capabilities.chrome();
var chromeOptions = {
'args': ['--user-data-dir=C:/ChromeProfile'], // start with pre-configured Chrome profile
'excludeSwitches': ['disable-component-update'] // stop breaking Native Client support
};
capabilities.set('chromeOptions', chromeOptions);
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(capabilities).
build();
driver.get('http://...');
Or using Python bindings:
from selenium import webdriver
def buildDriver():
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['disable-component-update'])
options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=C:/Temp/ChromeProfile')
return webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
Hope that helps..

Issue 886: Enabled PNaCl Components in ChromeDriver - Enhancement
If you cannot get #Chainik's answer to work, try this out. It worked for me.
As per https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1140 you can work around this issue by doing a few things.
manually start chrome from terminal/command prompt with these command line arguments --
google-chrome --user-data-dir=/path/to/any/custom/directory/home/user/Desktop/Chromedir --profile-directory="Profile 1" --remote-debugging-port=7878
make sure "Profile 1" is already existing in the same --user-data-dir (make usre Profile 1 has necessary chrome://components/ to run Netflix when launched manually)
you can use any free port in place of 7878
verify that http://localhost:7878 is running and returns value.
now connect to the remote-debugging-port=7878 via chromedriver with code below
Verify chrome://components/
I put mine into a .bat file, but you could do the same for a bash script or whatever:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe --user-data=c:/temp/chromeprofile --profile-directory="Profile 1" --remote-debugging-port=7878
Then set the debugger address in your code to use the browser:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
cr_options = Options()
# This line is where the "magic" happens.
cr_options.add_experimental_option('debuggerAddress','127.0.0.1:7878')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=cr_options)
browser.get('https://www.google.com')
browser.get('chrome://components/')
I'm post a java version of Chainik's answer as a reference for those using Java, please let me know if there's anything wrong.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("disable-component-update");
options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", list);
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/Users/myname/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default");
java.lang.System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/usr/bin/chromedriver");
Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Here is an article about chromedriver capabilities and options.
This is late but might help someone else. I was able to get around this and play videos by not using a headless browser.
In Python,
options = Options()
options.headless = False
webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path/to/chromedriver', options=options)
