addCookie() Method<\/h2>\n

Method Name: addCookie(Cookie cookie)<\/b>
\nSyntax:driver.manage().addCookie(arg0);<\/p>\n

Purpose: To add a specific cookie into cookies. If the cookie’s domain name is left blank, it is assumed that the cookie is meant for the domain of the current document.<\/p>\n

Parameters: cookie – The name and value of the cookie to be added.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h2>\n
@Test\n\tpublic void addCookie()\n\t{\n\t\tdriver= new FirefoxDriver();\n\t\tString URL=<span class="hljs-string">"<\/span><span class="hljs-string">https:\/\/www.example.com\/"<\/span>;\n\t\tdriver.navigate().to(URL);\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/we should pass name and value for cookie as parameters\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ In this example we are passing, name=mycookie and value=123456789123\n\t\tCookie name = new Cookie(<span class="hljs-string">"mycookie"<\/span>, <span class="hljs-string">"cookiedata"<\/span>);\n\t\tdriver.manage().addCookie(name);\n\t\t\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ After adding the cookie we will check that by displaying all the cookies.\n\t\tSet<Cookie> cookiesList =\u00a0 driver.manage().getCookies();\n\t\tfor(Cookie cookie :cookiesList) {\n\t\t\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 System.out.println(cookie);\n\t\t}\n\t}<\/code><\/pre>\n
The output looks like below. We can see the added cookie along with the other cookies of the domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
