Send keys to authentication window doesn't work for chromdriver.

[lilit14]

Meta -

OS: Windows 10
Selenium Version: 3.7.0
Browser: Chrome 62, chromediver 2.33
python 2.7

here is the code sample
1 wait(driver, 5).until(EC.alert_is_present())
2 alert = driver.switch_to_alert()
3 alert.send_keys("username" + Keys.TAB + "password")
4 alert.accept()

Expected Behavior - send username and password to popup and apply. This works as expected with firefox.

Actual Behavior -

I'm getting timeout exception on line 1 - selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:
but actually the alert is present.

when removing line 1, I'm getting exception on line 2
selenium.common.exceptions.NoAlertPresentException: Message: no alert open

Drivers will implement this feature not earlier than it is specified in W3C WebDriver standard.
Follow this issue for the status: w3c/webdriver#385

workaround that worked for me:
Authenticate via the URL
https://username:[email protected]

OS: Linux Mint 17.3
Selenium Version: 3.7.0

python 3.4.3

Thanks, the workaround works for me as well.

If even this doesn't work, then one change that you can try is

alert.send_keys("username" + Keys.TAB.toString() + "password")
in the third command
