hello, i have a issue where in my test cases i need to interact with a windows select certificate pop up that appears when the first line of my code is run which is open browser. i have tried robot with no luck, also i have tried autoit where i made a script to simulate a mouse click. The issue is with autoit i cannot get the exe to run as the chrome browser is running. but once i close the chrome browser for the test case the autoit exe runs. what am i missing? ---

there is no error from robot because it never reaches that step. it launches the URL the pop up is triggered and the thread is frozen. The robot is the next step in the script. but it never runs the robot because the first thread is frozen from the pop up. ---

Can you interact with the “Certificate” such as **right** click on the OK button to see the HTML of the button? You may have to do a **second** time to see the HTML of the button specifically. (Or use the F12 key and choose, Open DevTools, and pick the top left icon). If you can interact with the certificate, then perhaps you can try and create an object of either OK or Cancel button (or both) and then move to the certificate and click, like: ```auto // move focus to the certificate page WebUI.switchToWindowTitle('Select a certificate') WebUI.click(findTestObject('Certificate Page/button_Ok')) WebUI.switchToDefaultContent() ``` If you **cannot** interact with the certificate, then how about using browser options to prevent the certificate from showing. > [@Any tip to get rid of location save pop-up in browser](http://forum.katalon.com/t/any-tip-to-get-rid-of-location-save-pop-up-in-browser/136388/8): > > ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.AddArgument("start-maximized"); options.AddArgument("test-type"); options.AddArgument("disable-notifications"); options.AddUserProfilePreference("autofill.profile\_enabled", false); ---

no you cannot interact with that pop up is what i’m saying. Right click on any of the buttons does nothing. the thread is frozen with that pop up until the OK is manually clicked. ---
