#selenium

hi all

why selenium with python open one url, doesnot have any cookie

I need the cookie to login

SimpleName: what do you mean?

AutomatedTester: I use this https://dpaste.de/c9dU code open new browser, but there is no cookie

if I open one browser mannually, everything is ok

SimpleName: selenium creates a new clean profile to run a browser

SimpleName: yea, as barancev says, we start with a clean profile to give you a clean and constant start for tests

barancev: but even use a new clean profile, I see the settings is not disable cookie

SimpleName: why would we want to disable cookies?

SimpleName: a new clean profile contains no preset cookies

if you want that you would need to use the profile class to tweak browser to block cookies

they are not disabled, but you have to perform login etc as if you started a browser first time

that is by design :slightly_smiling_face:

if you're cookie is still valid you could store it and then spoof it, otherwise, you might just want to wrap your login steps in a page object method and call that before each spec

barancev: I know, may you are not understand what I said, I http request one url, there must be have some cookie( it’s not for login, it’s the csrf cookie)

I set the cookie int the server
