Multiple domain cookies handling using selenium webdriver

Question

I save all cookies for gmail login. I use this cookies when I login again in gmail I load this cookies file but I can not login with this cookies get exception like " Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidCookieDomainException: You may only set cookies for the current domain "

My code is look like:

    File f = new File("c:\\browser.data");
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(fb, fp);
    driver.get("https://accounts.google.com");
    driver.findElement(By.name("Email")).sendKeys("myusername");
    driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd")).sendKeys("mypassword");
    driver.findElement(By.name("PersistentCookie")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.name("signIn")).submit();
    Thread.sleep(20000);

    try {
        f.delete();
        f.createNewFile();
        try (FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(f); BufferedWriter bos = new BufferedWriter(fos)) {

            for (Cookie ck : driver.manage().getCookies()) {
                bos.write((ck.getName() + ";" + ck.getValue() + ";" + ck.getDomain() + ";" + ck.getPath() + ";" + ck.getExpiry() + ";" + ck.isSecure()));
                bos.newLine();
            }

            bos.flush();
        }
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".gb_V.gbii")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='gb_71']")).click();
    driver.close();
    WebDriver driver1 = new FirefoxDriver(pf);
    driver1.get("https://accounts.google.com");
    FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(line, ";");
        while (str.hasMoreTokens()) {
            String name = str.nextToken();
            String value = str.nextToken();
            String domain = str.nextToken();
            String path = str.nextToken();
            Date expiry = null;
            String dt;
            if (!(dt=str.nextToken()).equals("null")) {

                expiry =new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d H:m:s z y").parse(dt);
            }
            boolean isSecure = Boolean.valueOf(str.nextToken()).booleanValue();
            Cookie ck1 = new Cookie(name, value, domain, path, expiry, isSecure);
            System.out.println(domain);
                if (domain.equalsIgnoreCase(".google.com")) {
                    driver1.get("https://accounts.google.com/ ");
                    driver1.manage().addCookie(ck);
                    driver1.get("https://accounts.google.com/ ");
                }

                if (domain.equalsIgnoreCase(".mail.google.com")) {
                    //driver1.get("http://accounts.google.com");
                    driver1.get("http://mail.google.com");
                    Thread.sleep(10000);
                    driver1.manage().addCookie(ck);
                    //driver1.get("http://accounts.google.com");
                    driver1.get("http://mail.google.com");
                }

        }
    }

After getting long search I cannot get any solution or workaround for this.

As I understand that this type of error occurred when single login validate the multiple domain.

I really need to login in gmail using cookies. This is for an example there are several site where this implements then how can we handle this in selenium webdriver?

Answer 1

It's not clear which domain or which cookie is causing trouble. This simple code is working for me:

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com");
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("foo", "bar", ".google.com", "/", new Date(), true);
driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
driver.get("https://accounts.google.com“);

Note that google is returning a wildcard-domain in the cookie. So you must open a valid subdomain before you set the cookie. GoogleMail is also setting cookies for .mail.google.com and plus.google.com . So check all cookies and open a valid domain for each cookie before setting it.

This can get tricky because google might redirect you. For instance if I'm opening https://mail.google.com/ and I'm not logged in I'm getting a redirect to https://accounts.google.com .
