Cookies play a significant role in web applications for maintaining session information and user preferences. Selenium provides methods to interact with cookies. Here are some common operations you can perform with cookies in Selenium:
Using driver.manage().addCookie() method, you can add a specific cookie. If the cookie's domain name is left blank, it is assumed that the cookie is meant for the domain of the current document. If the path is blank, it will assume default path. If the expiry is blank, it will consider as no expiry.
The method driver.manage().getAllCookies() is used to get all the cookies for the current domain. It will return as a set of Cookie object.
To get a specific cookie, use the method driver.manage().getCookieNamed("cookiename"). This will return a cookie object.
To delete a cookie, use the method driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("cookiename") or driver.manage().deleteCookie(cookieObject). It will delete the cookie from the current domain. This is equivalent to setting the named cookie's expiry date to some time in the past.
Use the method driver.manage().deleteAllCookies() to delete all the cookies for the current domain.
The following example focus on the following:
- Add two cookies.
- Get all cookies.
- Get cookie by name.
- Delete cookie.
- Finally delete all cookie.
