Not able to handle Basic Login Authentication Pop Up in Cypress

[RavinderNuvei]

Current behavior

I am trying to handle the login authentication pop-up using the following approach

cy.visit('https://username:pwd@example.cypress.io')

and also I tried using

cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io/', {
  auth: {
    username: 'username',
    password: 'pwd',
  },
})

But the website is showing login pop-up even after using the passing the credentials in the url, somehow it is not able to handle this scenario.

Additionally, I tried using cy.intercept method to inject parameters beforehand like this

let isIntercepted=false;
 cy.intercept('https://example.cypress.io/**',(req)=>
    {
      if(!isIntercepted)
      {
       req.url=`https://${username}:${pwd}@example.cypress.io`;
       isIntercepted=true;
      }
       req.continue();
    })
    cy.visit(`https://${username}:${pwd}@example.cypress.io`)

But it doesn't work in this case either.

Desired behavior

Using Cypress I should be able to login into the website as credentials are given in the URL. This is documented in the cypress documentation.

I should be able to perform the further assertions after I am logged into the website.

Test code to reproduce

I am using the cy.visit to login into the website, and I am passing the credentials in the url as I stated above

cy.visit('https://username:pwd@example.cypress.io')

thanks again !!

[mkoiev]

@RavinderNuvei "cypress": "^13.11.0",

@mkoiev @Yazan-Mughrabi @jennifer-shehane

I tried by updating the cypress to version 13.11.0 but it didn't solved the issue for me.

@mkoiev was the use case for the issue that you faced was same as this one I raised ? Can you let us know what additional steps we can follow to troubleshoot the issue ?

Thank you

I am also facing the same issue, I have tried passing the credentials in the URL and also use auth option to visit function but it’s not working out . I am trying to handle SharePoint windows authentication if anyone know how to do please let me know.

I have the same thing on "cypress": "^13.15.0".

///

describe('template spec', () => { it('passes', () => { cy.visit('https://some.testing.page',{ auth: { username: "admin", password: "pass" }, failOnStatusCode: false

});

});

it('passes', () => { cy.visit('https://admin:pass@some.testing.page',{ failOnStatusCode: false

});

});

}); In both cases cypress just open the browser dialog and it is waiting like that.
