That is the paradigm:

How can Robot Framework, prove it is not a Robot?

In other words:
Why would you automate something who’s goal is to impede automation?

These are my “alternatives”:

  • Don’t test those systems :wink:
  • Ask developers if they can add some attribute or alternate page to avoid CAPTCHAs (test env pages could not have them)
  • Have a manual step to wait for Human to do the Login procedure

Hi Vishwa,

Even if you managed to automate the recaptca, the company behind it spends a lot of resources on ensuring that it can’t automated, so expect it to change again so that your working automation will start failing.

My alternatives list is the same as Helio’s above, I’ll just add that DialogsLibrary is handy if you choose the 3rd alternative.

Dave.
