Clearing cookies and browser data inside a test script

Asked by pratik shah

Is there a way I can clear my browser cookies in the middle of a test?

Example:

urls = array of urls

for url in urls:
    goto(url)
    // clear cookies/browser data

Any help would be appreciated! =)

Answered my own question tonight, sorry I forgot the webdriver class is a toolbox, I just have to find the tool!

def delete_all_cookies():
    browser.delete_all_cookies()

define function above in actions.

pratik,
this sounds like a good addition to sst's actions.py.

pratik,
I just did a merge proposal, implementing this:
https://code.launchpad.net/~coreygoldberg/selenium-simple-test/clear-cookies

once it lands in trunk, a `clear_cookies()` action will be available in sst.actions.

Sweet. It's especially useful for traffic slicer testing so you can iterate through pages and test the slicing between A and B.
