JavascriptExecutor to accept insecure certificates
While executing Automate Test on Safari browser or iOS devices that take you to the stale/untrusted certificate webpage through navigation commands such as click action, Javascript navigation, etc. this acceptSsl JavascriptExecutor will be required along with acceptSslCerts capability to execute the test.
Following is the code snippet to use JavascriptExecutor to accept insecure certificates on Safari browser or iOS devices:
driver.findElement(By.id(“some-element”)).click();
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("browserstack_executor: {\"action\": \"acceptSsl\"}");
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id('some-element')).click().then(function(){
driver.executeScript("browserstack_executor: {\"action\": \"acceptSsl\"}").then(function()});
});
driver.FindElement(By.id("some-element")).Click();
((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("browserstack_executor: {\"action\": \"acceptSsl\"}");
$web_driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id("some-element"))->click();
$web_driver->executeScript('browserstack_executor: {"action": "acceptSsl"}');
driver.find_element_by_id("some-element").click()
driver.execute_script('browserstack_executor: {"action": "acceptSsl"}')
caps["javascriptEnabled"]=true #Set `javascriptEnabled` capability to `true`
driver.find_element(:id, "some-element").click()
driver.execute_script('browserstack_executor: {"action": "acceptSsl"}')
$driver->find_element_by_id("some-element")->click('LEFT');
$driver->execute_script('browserstack_executor: {"action": "acceptSsl"}');
