Selenium Webdriver Getting a Cookie Value

Selenium Webdriver getting a cookie value

The methods for working with cookies are defined in the Selenium::WebDriver::Options - see the API docs.

To access these cookie methods, you need to call the manage method for the driver:

@browser.manage

To get a cookie based on its name, you need to do:

@browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")

Note that cookie_named returns a single cookie that matches. The cookies values are a hash. Therefore, you can get values of the cookie by doing:

cookie = @browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")
cookie[:name]
#=> "configsession"

If you want to get the name of all the cookies on the page, use the all_cookies method:

driver.manage.all_cookies.each do |cookie|
    puts cookie[:name]
end

Unable to set a cookie of Github using Selenium Webdriver

This cookie is set to ensure that browsers that support SameSite cookies can check to see if a request originates from GitHub.

You will find only this cookie have a different value of Strict in the sameSite attribute, others being Lax. So when you skip this cookie, everything works fine. You can set this cookie separately by adding this code:

driver.add_cookie({'name':'__Host-user_session_same_site','value': 'itsValue','sameSite':'Strict'})
