When developing automated test cases using Katalon Studio, a common issue arises with Firefox where an “Authentication Required” popup appears, disrupting the test flow. This is particularly frustrating as it does not occur in other browsers like Chrome or Internet Explorer. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward solution to bypass this popup and streamline your testing process.
Solution for Automatic Authentication in Firefox
To address the authentication popup in Firefox, you can modify the way you open the browser within your test scripts. The recommended approach is to include the username and password directly in the URL when calling the WebUI.openBrowser method. Here’s how you can do it:
WebUI.openBrowser("http://username:password@WebsiteURL")Ensure that you prefix the URL with “http://” instead of just including the credentials directly. This small change helps Firefox recognize and automatically handle the authentication, preventing the popup from appearing.
