Selenium Webdriver getting a cookie value

Solution

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
