Bypass "External protocol request" popup during selenium automation

I'm running an automation on mac and on ubunto (using cucumber, selenium web driver, junit)

during the automation I click a link with non http protocol

an "External protocol request" popup appears.

enter image description here

It blocks my test from testing the rest of the webpage.

How can I bypass it easily?

I have thought maybe to write a jar that does nothing and then register it to this external protocol, but it won't help as this popup will still appear.

Maybe using another browser can help?

Any other suggestions?

How do I bypass authentication using Selenium?

get("http://username:[email protected]/"); Note: this question is almost the same as BASIC Authentication in Selenium 2 - set up for FirefoxDriver, ChromeDriver and IEdriver. Show activity on this post. You can use Selenium's new WebDriver to enter information into a dialog box of that type.

Can Selenium run without browser installed?

We can perform Selenium testing without a browser. This is achieved by triggering the execution in a headless mode. The headless execution can decrease the utilization of key resources and is being adopted widely.

I am using chromedriver with selenium and python. I encountered same problem and following code worked for me-

driver.execute_script("window.confirm = function(msg) { return true; }")

prefs = {"protocol_handler.excluded_schemes":{"afp":True,"data":True,"disk":True,"disks":True,"file":True,"hcp":True,"intent":True, "itms-appss":True, "itms-apps":True,"itms":True,"market":True,"javascript":True,"mailto":True,"ms-help":True,"news":True,"nntp":True,"shell":True,"sip":True,"snews":False,"vbscript":True,"view-source":True,"vnd":{"ms":{"radio":True}}}}    

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)

Let's say you want to suppress protocol handler popup for links starting with "sip://"
Just add an extra entry as "sip":True in "protocol_handler.excluded_schemes"
