Question

anyone used any idea for capturing captcha in selenium

Answer 1

The whole point of captcha is that it shouldn't be doable by an application.

So you either

• need a "back door" to your captcha provider that can tell the test application what to enter, or
• need to mock your captcha provider to return well-known values
• need to configure your application to not actually test the entered values and pass the test anyway.

Answer 2

As below, the two are mutually exclusive. If Selenium could simulate a captcha, then it would allow robots to override the captcha mechanism (which is meant to exclude robots).

Two ways I've used:

Have a switch in the code to disallow captcha for Selenium testing.

Automate the rest of the test and enter the captcha manually - good article here using the "break" command.
