Is there an easy way to set cookie?

[hsluoyz]

I saw the example here: https://github.com/chromedp/examples/blob/master/cookie/main.go , but it looks a little too complicated. For example, I don't know what a cookieServer is used for.

Moreover, the setcookies() function seems to do something like "read the returned values". In my case, I already know what cookie I need to set as follows, including cookie name, value, domain and all other properties (by logging in the site manually). I just need to set these static cookie info into ChromeDP.

I want to have a simple API like:

err := chromedp.Run(ctx,
		chromedp.SetCookie(cookie), // key1 = value1
		chromedp.Navigate(url),

		chromedp.Sleep(1*time.Second),
		chromedp.SendKeys(`//*[@id="username"]`, username),
		chromedp.SendKeys(`//*[@id="loginform"]/div[3]/input`, password),
		chromedp.Click(`//*[@id="btn-login"]`),
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

Is it possible?

The example illustrates many things, that's why it looks "complicated":

1. It sets browser cookies (L70-L85);
2. It reads browser cookies (L90-L102).
3. It even provides a simple web server to illustrate that the provided cookies are sent to the server ( cookieServer);

The source code in part 1 is what you need.

BTW, I think it's a bad idea to wait like this: chromedp.Sleep(1*time.Second). Try to use one of the following actions:

• chromedp.WaitReady
• chromedp.WaitVisible
• chromedp.WaitEnabled
• and other query actions

@hzmnet Please provide a minimal demo to show what's wrong.
