Using Percy with a website with .htaccess authorization

[SilkeDX]

I want to make snapshots for a website that is protected by .htaccess. I tried to add the credentials to percy.yml file, but did not succeed. I found this page:
https://www.browserstack.com/docs/percy/advanced-snapshots/assets-with-authentication

But having:

snapshot:
authorization:
username: myuser
password: supersecret

in my percy.yml gives me an error:
"Invalid config:
snapshot.authorization: unknown property"

This is the client log id of the percy client:
cli_fda2b055916baa2438ef4ba20cccf17ee19231ea

How can I access snapshots on protected pages?

Can you try passing the credentials when making the HTTP request to load the page but through the URL format itself.

Specifically, the syntax is:

https://username:[email protected]/path

You can pass any request headers as a snapshot option. For example, (Cypress SDK) using basic auth:

cy.percySnapshot('Home page', {
requestHeaders: {
Authorization: 'Basic xxx'
}
});

If the issue is not resolved please create a ticket using https://www.browserstack.com/contact#technical-support

Thanks a lot, passing the credentials with the url worked!
