Running Protractor with Existing Cookies

[Kaleb8812]

I am currently testing a website that requires you to sign in through an authentication page. However, this page is not written in Angular so protractor gives me the generic "Error: Angular could not be found on the page" message. If I am using chrome regularly, I can collect the cookies from the login page and thus I can close the tab I am logged in to and reopen it without having to log in again. Finally my question: Is there a way to make the new chrome window Protractor opens carry cookies from my earlier chrome sessions? Or is there someting I can add to the Protractor code files that would automatically store my cookies? Thanks!

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27234785/how-to-handle-basic-authentication-with-protractor/27388698#27388698 if you're dealing with basic authentication.

If it's a login page, there are also many threads covering this:
