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

Here is my code of step defenition:

Then /^cookie "([^\"]*)" should be like "([^\"]*)"$/ do |cookie, value|
  cookie_value = Capybara.current_session.driver.request.cookies.[](cookie)
  if cookie_value.respond_to? :should
    cookie_value.should =~ /#{value}/
  else
    assert cookie_value =~ /#{value}/
  end 
end

Here is example of output when test fails:

expected: /change/
     got: "/edit" (using =~)
