Article summary

Recording permission dialogs

A permission dialog is a dialog that is displayed when a web application, such as the one below, requests access to the user's camera, location information, etc. Permission dialogs are sometimes referred to as browser usage permissions, permissions, permission messages, etc.

On Autify, you cannot record permission dialogs.

During test runs, permissions are automatically selected or not selected depending on the execution environment. For details on permission settings, please see the table below. These settings cannot be changed at this time.

Please note that even if access to location information, microphone, and camera are allowed, Autify currently does not support voice input and testing that uses location information (for example, showing a different list based on location information).

Allow means the permission is force allowed.
Deny means the permission is force blocked.
Unhandled means that the permission is not selected and the test proceeds with the dialog displayed.
※ Information as of February 7, 2024. Actual permissions may differ depending on circumstances.

Why doesn't the notification permission dialog appear when recording?

Autify launches the browser in incognito mode when recording. In incognito or guest mode, the notification permission dialog is not displayed by design. For more details, please refer to this link.

During scenario execution, the browser launches in normal mode, so the dialog will appear.

For information on alert dialogs that notify users of errors or successful actions, please refer to this article.
