Capybara & Cucumber | Getting cookies

Question

I\'m trying to get cookie values in the Cucumber step:

Step definitions

When /^I log in$/ do
  #          


        

Answer 1

It seems that Selenium API has changed. The suggested solution did not work, but I after spending a bit of time looking around, I found a solution.

To save a cookie:

browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser.manage
browser.add_cookie :name => key, :value => val

To read a cookie:

browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser.manage
browser.cookie_named(key)[:value]

cookie_named returns an array consisting of "name" and "value", so we need an extra reference to extract cookie value.
