When is the right time to launch the script? [newbie question]

[abarlev]

I am using Selenium to test secure websites requiring smart card authentication.

The security window that pops up requesting the smart card PIN code is a windows object, therefor cannot be handled by Selenium.

I wrote the following AutoIT script which responds to the popup:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=Grafikartes-Adobe-Cc-Folders-ID.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=SetPinCode_x86.exe
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_x64=SetPinCode_x64.exe
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compile_Both=y
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
WinWaitActive("Windows Security", "OK")
ControlClick("Windows Security", "OK", "[CLASSNN:Button2]")
WinWaitActive("IDProtect Verification")
Send("TestCard")
WinWaitActive("IDProtect Verification", "Verify")
ControlClick("IDProtect Verification", "Verify", "[CLASSNN:Button2]")

The script works fine when launched manually. Although, I noticed that I need to set focus on the popup in order for it to work.

When I launch from within the application, it does not respond.

I tried execution of the exe before and after launching the tested website, neither with much success.

Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,

Asaf

Automating Security measures is a bit taboo here on the forum.

They're there for a reason, so it's doubtful you'll get any help with that.

Might just be administrative permissions. Run Selenium with admin rights and include #RequireAdmin on the top of your script (just to make sure).

For the activation of the window, instead of:

WinWaitActive("Windows Security", "OK")

 

Write:

 

WinWait("Windows Security", "OK")
WinActivate("Windows Security", "OK")

So that WinWait waits until the window exists, and you then activate it yourself with WinActivate.
