How to Bypass Deprecated Subresource Warnings When Using Selenium for Basic Authentication?

Selenium Basic Authentication via URL

Problem:

When using Selenium tests with Chromedriver-2.24, attempting to access a webpage through basic authentication using the following code results in a warning about deprecated subresource requests with embedded credentials:

WebDriver driver = ...;
driver.get("http://admin:admin@localhost:8080/project/");

Solution:

1. Use Basic Authentication on the Domain:

The restriction on embedded credentials applies only to subresource requests. Therefore, you can still use basic authentication on the domain:

driver.get("http://admin:admin@localhost:8080");
driver.get("http://localhost:8080/project");

2. Use a Chrome Extension:

Alternatively, you can create a small Chrome extension to automatically set the credentials when requested:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_extension(r'C:\dev\credentials.zip')

The linked Gist provides a sample Python script that demonstrates this approach:
