Keep cookies between tests nightwatch selenium - selenium

Question

I need to keep some cookies from test to test, I'm using Nightwatch and Selenium, I don't know how to get them for the current session o where to store them.
I've tried to create and set an account, but that doesn't seem to work either
"selenium" : {
"start_process" : false,
"server_path" : "",
"log_path" : "",
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 4444,
"cli_args" : {
"webdriver.chrome.driver" : "",
"webdriver.ie.driver" : "",
"webdriver.firefox.profile" : "webdriver"
}
},
Any help is apreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

As of v0.9.14, setCookie does not persist cookies between tests. It looks like the client is created anew for each test.
What I've done is create a custom command that sets and caches the cookie value. This works well for maintaining* authentication state between tests since the custom commands are singletons. The actual authentication only happens once, then subsequent calls use setCookie with the cached session value.
Keep in mind that setCookie won't work until the client has navigated to the relevant domain.

How can we set cookies in Nightwatch. I was tried in Supertest it's works.
How to do in nightwatch.
Below is the code to work with superTest
var args = {
data: {
email: "xxxx",
password: "xxxx"
},
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
};
service.post("localhost", args, function(data, response) {
global.Cookies = response.headers['set-cookie'].pop().split(';')[0]
this.meServiceUrl = superTest.agent("localhost/users").get('');
// Set cookie to get saved user session
this.meServiceUrl.cookies = Cookies;
this.meServiceUrl.set('Accept', 'application/json')
.expect('Content-Type', /json/)
.expect(200)
.end(function(err, res) {
usersApiResponse = res.body
usersServiceResponse.push(usersApiResponse)
console.log(usersServiceResponse)
console.log(usersApiResponse.result.length)
});
});
