使用Selenium Java传递用户名和密码以及用于登录的URL时出错

Question

Related to this question: How to handle login pop up window using Selenium WebDriver?

url I am using:

https://username:password@url.com

When I try to enter the url containing username and password in IE 11, it gives an error.

Windows cannot find '...url...'. Check the spelling and try again.

I tried the other methods and none of them is working, but that is because the login pop up is a Windows Security window and not normal js alert. Here I asked that question: https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/35002/how-to-handle-password-alert-pop-up-windows-security-on-ie

This method is giving a different error and I am curious as to why this is the case. Some permission missing that allows the url to contain credentials?

I've just encountered that problem myself. For me, the problem was that my application uses HTTP Basic Authentication, and that I was attempting to set the username/password combination via the page URL, like this: http://username:password@host/path

Problem is by default IE doesn't allow you to set the username and password this way (it's a security feature), and that causes the error above.

To fix this, I had to add a registry value in regedit. In the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\MAIN\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE add a new DWORD value with the name iexplore.exe and the value 0, as described in this other answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/23519791/80779
