basic authentication does not work for local testing with cypress












0














I am developing a web app that requires windows credential. To test it locally during developing, I decide to try cypress.io. However, I cannot make it work. I always got an 401-unauthorized error. Here are some codes that I have used for my testing. Thanks for your help.



method 1:



describe('My First Test', function() {
it('Visits the Kitchen Sink', function() {
cy.visit('http://localhost:8080/')
})
})


method 2:



describe('My First Test', function() {
it('test website loading', function() {
cy.visit('http://localhost:8080/',{
auth: {
username:'myusername',
password:'myassword'
}
})
})
})


method 3: overwrite command



Cypress.Commands.overwrite('visit', (orig, url, options) => {
options = options || {}
options.auth = {
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
}
return orig(url, options)
})

  • There's an open issue that appears to be on basic auth. While you wait for that you could try running cntlm with basic auth.
