Passing authenticated session from selenium to scrapy - selenium

Question

I am trying to login in a website using selenium then pass the authenticated session to scrapy to extract stuff.
The issue is that after I pass the session to scrapy I am still not logged in.
class LoginSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'login'
allowed_domains = ['*****']
start_urls = ['*****']
def __init__(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
def start_requests(self):
# driver = webdriver.Firefox()
self.driver.get('*****')
time.sleep(5)
portalButton = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="fb_submit"]')
portalButton.click()
time.sleep(2)
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="email"]').send_keys('******')
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="password"]').send_keys('******')
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="btn-login"]').click()
time.sleep(5)
for cookie in self.driver.get_cookies():
c = {cookie['name']: cookie['value']}
yield Request(url="****",cookies=c,callback=self.parse)
def parse(self,response):
# self.log("->>>>>>>>>>>>")
open_in_browser(response)
# view(response)
self.log("->>>>>>>>>>>>")

Answer 1

I would suggest changing that step a bit:
for cookie in self.driver.get_cookies():
c = {cookie['name']: cookie['value']}
to something like that:
_cookies = {cookie['name']: cookie['value'] for cookie in self.driver.get_cookies()}
yield Request(url="****",cookies=_cookies,callback=self.parse)
in each iteration you re-create c with new {cookie['name']: cookie['value']}
my code examples:
import time
import scrapy
from scrapy import Request
from scrapy.utils.response import open_in_browser
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
class LoginSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'login'
start_urls = ['URL']
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
def start_requests(self):
self.driver.get('URL')
time.sleep(5)
self.driver.find_element(By.ID, ('email')).send_keys('EMAIL')
self.driver.find_element(By.ID, ('passwd')).send_keys('PASSWORD')
self.driver.find_element(By.ID, ('SubmitLogin')).click()
_cookies = {cookie['name']: cookie['value'] for cookie in self.driver.get_cookies()}
yield Request(url='URL',
cookies=_cookies,
callback=self.parse)
self.driver.quit()
def parse(self, response, **kwargs):
open_in_browser(response)
self.log(response)
