Selenium IDE and CAPTCHA


Selenium can only be used to test a web app protected by CAPTCHA if a human involved for the test. So, if you are automating registration form of any site that includes a CAPTCHA, you will require human interaction during the specific section that requires a CAPTCHA response.

There are two ways in which you can automate CAPCHA
1.By break command
2.By input-box
Suppose after command 3, there is CAPTCHA
1.By break command
Command 1
Command 2
Command 3
4th command will be
Break
Enter CAPTCHA manually and resume execution of test
continue with your next commands
2.By input-box
Command 1
Command 2
Command 3
4th command will be
storeEval | prompt(“Enter value for captcha”); |variable
type | locator of CAPTCHA field | ${variable}
continue with your next commands

    For selenium RC, please refer below code
    String variable = selenium.getEval("prompt(\"Enter Value For Catpcha\")");
    selenium.type("locator of CAPTCHA field", variable);

    I used the the below :

    StorEval prompt("Enter value for captcha") captcha
    type id=captcha ${captcha}

    It captures the captcha value however at the time of submitting the form it gives an error the entered number for captcha is incorrect.

    Hi,

    Question 1:
    When using 'input-box' command in IDE 2.0.0, received error with captcha despite entering correct captcha. Example: 'frammix fame'. Note the blank space in the above example. Any solution for this?

    Question 2:
    When using 'break' command in IDE 2.0.0, the test paused at the command 'comment'. After entering captcha value, clicking 'Pause/Resume' icon in the toolbar displayed error - unknown command: 'comment'. How should I make it work?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
