Getting invalid cookie exception

[abaklanov]

Hello there.

I'm trying to build an acceptance test for my local project using Codeception 2.1. Everything was doing fine until I got to submit a paypal form, a paypal button. Here's how it looks:

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="BUTTONID">
<input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

When I try to submit it, Codeception goes

* I submit form "form:nth-child(3)",
  [Uri] https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
  [Method] POST
  [Parameters] {"cmd":"_s-xclick","hosted_button_id":"BUTTONID"}
 ERROR 

And then fires up the following error:

[RuntimeException] Invalid cookie: The cookie value must not be empty

I do NOT set any cookie manually. You can see it in my cest file:

<?php
use \AcceptanceTester;

class SubscriptionCest
{
    public function _before(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
    }

    public function _after(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
    }

    // Main function
    public function run(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->am("New user");
        $I->wantTo("purchase a membership");
        $I->amOnPage("/subscription");

        $I->submitForm("form:nth-child(3)", []);
    }
}

Why am i getting this error?

Paypal images are setting cookies:

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif
Set-Cookie
X-PP-SILOVER=name%3DSANDBOX3.WEB.1%26silo_version%3D880%26app%3Dappdispatcher%26TIME%3D1266073429; domain=.paypal.com; path=/; Secure; HttpOnly
X-PP-SILOVER=; Expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT

Please run the test with -vvv option to get more information.

@Naktibalda, yep. Thanks for the reply.
I've removed the image from the form and it looks like headers from https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr contain this as well:

Set-Cookie:X-PP-SILOVER=; Expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT

But how can I evict/dodge or somehow manage this cookie setting with Codeception?

[Naktibalda]

I did a quick investigation before making the previous comment and it looks like a bug in Symfony BrowserKit to me.

I will investigate it more and try to fix it later.

[Naktibalda]

Actually it is an issue of Guzzle,
I reported it here - guzzle/guzzle#1205

[Naktibalda]

It is a bad day for me - I was wrong again.
It was a fault of Codeception, because Codeception creates a CookieJar with strictMode turned on.

Codeception/src/Codeception/Lib/Connector/Guzzle6.php

Line 315 in 62dab9c

return new CookieJar(true, $jar);

@Naktibalda Thanks for your help.
When will it be turned into a phar?

[Naktibalda]

I don't know for sure, but it should happen over the next few weeks.

If you need this patch now, install codeception/codeception: 2.1-dev with composer.

@Naktibalda Thanks a lot.
