Is there a way to load LocalStorage?

[eguitarz]

Our app is storing server token in local storage, is there a way to load data from local storage in different sessions?

I haven't done it -- but I don't see why you couldn't. Try using the regular localStorage api in an onReady script.

Thanks! But seems every scenario starts with a fresh environment, all local storage will be cleared out? If that's true, then I'll have to log in on every scenario, which is a bit slow and not ideal.

Is there a way not to clear out the localStorage once a scenario is done? (or pass to the next test)

[garris]

Yes. Check the documentation. You can create a global onReady / onBefore that runs on every test. Save your state to a file then import that and restore your state using the onBefore/onReady scripts.

And what the logic will be if I create global onReady script and another script to onReady of scenario. Did they both will be applied?

[eguitarz]

@anton-kulagin Nope. According to the doc (https://github.com/garris/BackstopJS#running-custom-scripts) If you defined local onReady/onBefore script, backstop will run them instead the global ones.

sorry, my english is ugly.
I recently had this problem, when i use the regular localStorage api in an onReady script, it will tip me "localStorage is not defined".

With this method I managed to set also the localStorage: #954 (comment)
