How to use the cookie got from Javascript's document.cookie in Ruby mechanize?

Question

I'm automate a login process using Ruby mechanize. Because it's too complex to recreate the exactly process in mechanize, I choose to use existing cookies grabbed from browser document.cookie . I want to know how can I use this string in Ruby mechanize. Thanks.

Answer 1

i dont think Mechanize runs Javascript, you'll have to use something like Selenium for that.

With Selenium, you can run arbitrary scripts. For example:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get("http://some.url")
driver.execute_script("console.log('javascript')")
driver.close
