Selenium Webdriver getting a cookie value

Question

I am trying to get a cookie value but keep getting an error of <Selenium::WebDriver::Driver:0x13a0e0e8 browser=:firefox>

I am calling

@browser.cookie_named("configsession").each do |cookie|
  puts cookie[:name]

is there something I i'm doing wrong?

Solution 1

The methods for working with cookies are defined in the Selenium::WebDriver::Options - see the API docs.

To access these cookie methods, you need to call the manage method for the driver:

@browser.manage

To get a cookie based on its name, you need to do:

@browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")

Note that cookie_named returns a single cookie that matches. The cookies values are a hash. Therefore, you can get values of the cookie by doing:

cookie = @browser.manage.cookie_named("configsession")
cookie[:name]
#=> "configsession"

If you want to get the name of all the cookies on the page, use the all_cookies method:

driver.manage.all_cookies.each do |cookie|
    puts cookie[:name]
end

This worked for me:

Cookie cookie= driver.manage().getCookieNamed("sitename.session");  
String cookieVal= cookie.getValue();
