ChromeDriver ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR despite --ignore-certificate-errors

Question

I\'m trying to run integration tests on a local host (with no HTTPS) using selenium with ChromeDriver.

Chrome requires an https certificate, but from this question i

Answer 1

You are requesting the page through HTTP and not HTTPS. Chrome will not connect to an insecure HTTP server.

This is causing the TLS/SSL negotiation to fail.

You need to make sure your server is running HTTPS on TCP port 8000.

With the --ignore-certificate-errors option you can generate a self-signed certificate and apply that to the web server.

Then change the url line to use HTTPS.

app_login_url = 'https://app:8000/accounts/login/'
