Bad request when using Geolocation API and HTTPS

[anon18728271]

Hi,

i get a bad request (see image below) every time my test clicks a submit button and because it's not an open application it won't be possible to reproduce it. My question is, Testcafe uses proxy to run my test Url, could it be that the proxy is causing this error?

i will be so glad if anyone could help me

Hello @augustine.uzokwe,
If your portal uses NTLM authorization, I should say that TestCafe does not support it now. We are going to add it in the context of the following thread:

Provide support for NTLM authorization for proxy

[anon17255128]

We do use microsoft login into the application but we don't user NTLM (at least that's what the Admins told me ) however,
testcafe logs in alright and fills out all the forms only when the test hits the submit button the error happens

I've discussed possible causes of this issue with the team and should say that we haven't been informed about a similar problem before.
First, try to update TestCafe to the latest version: 0.20

If this does not help, please provide us with a link to the problematic page with temporary site access so that we can see the issue locally. If you do not want to share your web site with other users, you can send a private message to me.

We have the only assumption (but we cannot check it without testing your page): stating with Chrome 50, Geolocation API works via https. At present, TestCafe proxy fully supports only http. We are going to add support for https soon:

Run testcafe with https protocol

i have updated testcafe to testcafe@0.20.0 the error still happened.

I tried to bypass the proxy by "--proxy-bypass" (testcafe chrome tests/onboard-merchant/onboard-with-online-payment.js -s screenshots --proxy-bypass localhost:8080
) but i think i got the whole thing wrong so maybe someone can explain me better with example how to.
we don't use proxy in the company now i can't provide url as this is restricted given its a financial company.

Test begin with e.g. "http://10.15.1.85:50568/xOdCmV8xn/https://portal.acc.payconiq.com/admin-portal/login"
logs in successfully (https://login.microsoftonline.com/...)
testcafe goes on and fills all the form successfully
when the button submit is click the error happens

my wild guess is the post that is sent back the application server could not pass the testcafe proxy for some reason i can't explain.

.....after googling, --proxy-bypass doesn't apply to my case

If you are using Geolocation API, I am afraid there is no solution for this task until we add support for the https protocol:

Run testcafe with https protocol

we don't use proxy in the company

TestCafe uses a URL-rewriting proxy. This proxy injects the driver script that emulates user actions right into the tested page. You can learn more about it in the following thread:

Tests launch with a weird URL

We have figured out why this error is occurring and it's NOT testcafe issue rather an issue on our side.

I'm sorry and thank you for your help.
