Testing Browser Pop-up: Basic Auth with Capybara

The Problem:

In our company most of the server is port blocked, thus only inside developer, tester, project manager and product owner and client (spefici) can access the system. And besides we block normal or anonmous users registration and blocks google crawling.

A Solution:

As we run test automation and we were preparing simple setup and configuration. And we could have hold javascript and give the input with valid information to pass on. So, we needed faster solution and we don’t want to see the popup – just pass us and get into project login system and execute rest of the services.
