When I open a page with selenium webdriver I get a chrome dialog box

  • 0

When I open a page with selenium webdriver I get a chrome dialog box “Choose certificate”. The default certificate is the right one so I only have to click OK button. But I have problem with this. I have python code:

drv = webdriver.Chrome()   
drv.get("https://example.com/login")

and after that I want to do something like:

drv.switch_to_alert().accept()

or

drv.switch_to_alert().send_keys(Keys.TAB)
drv.switch_to_alert().send_keys(Keys.SPACE)

The problem is that the code stops executing on line drv.get(“https://example.com/login“). Webdriver is waiting for page to load. And before that line there is no chrome dialog box.

How can I handle this?

    You’ll have to use something like AutoIT:

    Why you ask? It’s an OS dialog, which Selenium does not and probably never will handle, so you’ll have to turn to other solutions (in C# you should use native Win32 API methods to click the button for instance).
