Ask your development team to remove the CAPTCHA field on the test environment.If you're using a gsuite domain for your test accounts, however, you can run your own identity provider to handle the auth Google officially prevents automated integration testing of any platform using google oauth.Average response is 15 seconds with a result rate of 90% or so they say. Use a service like which has an API to return the text of the CAPTCHA for you.

How to handle a CAPTCHA in a test environment: Perhaps there are specific JS objects that are injected into the DOM that google picks up on?īy definition, resolving a CAPTCHA cannot be automated: Otherwise it could not tell computers and humans apart and hence fails being a CAPTCHA. I would conclude that there is something on selenium's end that is causing me to be identified as a bot, when I'm using the browser as a regular user. There's nothing in the request headers that would suggest it is any different from a regular browser. My user agent is unspoofed and it's no different from my normal browsing experience. I have all my regular extensions that I have installed on my profile. I have used a custom profile, with custom cache path. Is there something specific about selenium that's making google identify me as a bot automatically?

Then I logged out, returned to the login page, entered my credentials, pressed the reCAPTCHA box.and it asked me to solve the image selection problem again!Īt this point I'm thinking, I just solved the captcha successfully half a minute ago, exhibited a bunch of manual human actions, but I'm still being identified as a bot. So I solve the captcha and successfully log in. Now I'm thinking, OK, so if google thinks I'm a bot, how about I solve the captcha in the selenium-launched browser once, let them know I'm good, and then it won't happen again? Maybe it identifies the browser as a new client, and just needs to know that this new client is not a bot.

Selenium by default creates a new profile, so it has no cookies or browsing history.

I decided to launch firefox using this piece of java code WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxProfile()) I then became curious what was the difference between me launching firefox through the executable, and me launching firefox through selenium. I started up a regular instance of firefox (that is, without selenium), went to the website, clicked the checkbox, and it determined that I was a human and let me go. Recently the website changed their login system by adding google's reCAPTCHA, and everytime I try to click the checkbox, google determines that I am a bot and asks me to select a bunch of images. I use selenium to start up firefox and log onto a website to scrape some data a few times a day. Preface: my goal is not to solve captcha using automation tools, but to attempt to understand why a browser that is being launched by selenium is being identified as a bot in the first place, and how selenium contributes to this.
