How to load cookies in SeleniumBase

[joako233]

Hi! I'm trying to load the cookies when opening the Chrome window, but I'm struggling to load them correctly, and it doesn't log in to the webpage that opens. The cookies are saved properly, the problem arises when trying to load them. Thanks.

The SeleniumBase cookie methods for the SB() syntax format:

sb.save_cookies(name="cookies.txt")
sb.load_cookies(name="cookies.txt")
sb.delete_all_cookies()  # Duplicate: self.clear_all_cookies()
sb.delete_saved_cookies(name="cookies.txt")
sb.get_saved_cookies(name="cookies.txt")
sb.get_cookie(name)
sb.get_cookies()
sb.add_cookie(cookie_dict)
sb.add_cookies(cookies)

For more details on those, see seleniumbase/seleniumbase/fixtures/base_case.py.

Note that you have to be on the same origin/domain before you can add cookies to it.

This example logs in to a website, saves the cookies, opens a new browser, and loads the cookies to avoid logging in again:

"""A SeleniumBase test that loads cookies to bypass login."""
from seleniumbase import SB

# Log in to Swag Labs and save cookies
with SB(test=True) as sb:
    sb.open("https://www.saucedemo.com")
    sb.wait_for_element("div.login_logo")
    sb.type("#user-name", "standard_user")
    sb.type("#password", "secret_sauce")
    sb.click('input[type="submit"]')
    sb.highlight("div.inventory_list", loops=6)
    sb.save_cookies(name="cookies.txt")

# Load previously saved cookies to bypass login
with SB(test=True) as sb:
    sb.open("https://www.saucedemo.com")
    sb.load_cookies(name="cookies.txt")
    sb.open("https://www.saucedemo.com/inventory.html")
    sb.highlight("div.inventory_list", loops=12)
