How to use the --cookie parameter? // Error: Protocol error (Network.setCookies): Invalid parameters cookies.0.expires: double value expected

[ewasser]

Hello *,

how can I use the --cookie parameter? The examples section says --cookie="id=unicorn; Expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2018 07:28:00 GMT;".

Putting this into a CLI command will not work. Here's an example:

$ ~/node_modules/capture-website-cli/cli.js https://www.google.de --cookie="CONSENT=YES+DE.en+V9; Expires=Sat, 09 Jan 2038 07:28:00 GMT;" --output=test.png

    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

After the CLI was entered the process hangs until I press CTRL-c (you can see the ^C in the output) and then the error messages appears.

Shouldn't the --cookie parameter be parsed so the underlying library got some dictionary instead of a simple string? In the cli.js the parameter will be just arrifyed.

This is fixed now: https://github.com/sindresorhus/capture-website/releases/tag/v0.8.1

Just reinstall the CLI to get the fix.
