Recording Browser-Level Security and Privacy Error Pages

Overview

This document explains the technical limitation that prevents the Functionize Architect from recording or interacting with browser-level security and error screens, specifically Privacy Error screens. This limitation is inherent to the browser's security architecture and affects all automated interactions with these specific page types.

How It Works

  • Browser security pages are generated by the browser itself, not by the application.

  • They are not part of the application’s DOM.

  • Architect interacts only with DOM elements, so it cannot access or control these screens.

Limitations

  • Actions on these pages cannot be recorded or replayed.

  • This includes buttons like “Advanced” or “Proceed to site.”

Related Information

  • This is standard browser behavior.

  • Most DOM-based automation tools have the same limitation.
