Security Alerts

If the site you are testing uses https, but the certificate is not correct, you may see this dialog. An incorrect certificate can occur if you create and install your own certificates, or a real certificate has an expired date, or if there is some redirection happening behind the scenes.

Again, this is really difficult to do a working demo for.

How do I access a security alert window?

Here is an example of clicking 'yes' on a security window when accessing a site:

class Browser
  def initialize
    $ie = Watir::IE.new
  end
  
  def goto(url)
    @url = url
    t = Thread.new(){
    puts "winclicker thread started"
    wc = WinClicker.new
    wc.clearSecurityAlertBox
    }
    m = Thread.new($ie) {
    $ie.goto(@url)
    }
    m.join
    t.join
    
    $ie.bring_to_front
    $ie.maximize
  end
end

browser = Browser.new
browser.goto('https://server_name/')
