Clicking Okta input type 'submit' doesn't trigger authentication when Native Automation is enabled

[jbraden6075]

What is your Scenario?

I am automating an internal website that uses an Okta login screen for authentication.

What is the Current behavior?

When Native Automation is enabled (by default for TestCafe), clicking the Sign In button doesn't trigger the authentication to log in and navigate to the home page of the site.

I had to set 'disableNativeAutomation' to false in my config file to be able to log into the site.

What is the Expected behavior?

Clicking the Sign In element of an Okta page triggers the authentication check and logs the user in while Native Automation is enabled for TestCafe.

What is the public URL of the test page? (attach your complete example)

Since this is an internal website and requires VPN access, as well as being an Okta sign in page, I cannot provide you the URL. Here is the form that contains all of the elements needed to sign into the site.

What is your TestCafe test code?

test('Login', async t => {
await t
.typeText('#okta-signin-username', 'asdf')
.typeText('#okta-signin-password', 'asdf')
.click('#okta-signin-submit')

let welcomeUser = Selector('.welcome-container').find('span').withText('Welcome, asdf')

await t
    .expect(welcomeUser.exists).ok()

})

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Native Automation for testcafe
2. Navigate to an Okta sign in page
3. Enter a username
4. Enter a password
5. Click the Sign in button

Expected: Authentication is triggered and user is logged in

Actual: Authentication is not triggered and user is not logged in

Workaround: Disabling Native Automation for testcafe and running the login method triggers authentication and the user is logged in.
