.registerBasicAuth() not working in Edge browser #3848
Closed
Description
Description of the bug/issue
When you create a new Nightwatch project and run a test in the Edge browser against a website that requires basic auth, it says that .registerBasicAuth() is only supported in Chromium based drivers.
As the Edge browser is Chromium based, I'd expect it to work the same way as when using Chrome.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a basic Nightwatch project with
npm init nightwatch <directory-name> - Write a basic test that navigates to a website protected with basic auth (see below)
- Download the Microsoft Edge WebDriver and add its location to the PATH
- Run the test
- See following error
Error
The command .registerBasicAuth() is only supported in Chromium based drivers
Sample test
describe('basic auth test', function() {
it('login via basic auth', function(browser) {
browser
.registerBasicAuth('username','password')
.navigateTo('http://some-webpage-with-basic-auth')
.waitForElementVisible('body')
.assert.titleContains('some title')
.end()
});
});Command to run
npx nightwatch --env edge test/sample.tsVerbose Output
