Question

I have following code:

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
  driver = Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :firefox, profile: "selenium")
  driver.browser.manage.window.resize_to(600,800)
  driver
end

And during running test there is popup window with certificate so every time I have to press it.

How to automatically do it, or to configure Capybara firefox profile to automatically accept certificate?

Answer 1

As documented here, you need to set assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer to false on your Firefox::Profile. Eg:

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
  profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
  profile.assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer = false # <= this should work
  driver = Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :profile => profile)
  driver.browser.manage.window.resize_to(600,800)
  driver
end

If you want to know the details of how this works in the firefox driver, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/UntrustedSSLCertificates
