Cookies set using <header> do not last past the first invoke in a single webtest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WT-442
URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-442
Project: WebTest
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.6
Reporter: Robert Calder
I can't get a cookie I have "set" at the start of a TC using <header> to stay
around. I know I can't persist a cookie across multiple tests with WebTest, but
my understanding of the documentation is that I should be able to persist a
cookie within a single TC this way.
For example, I have a site that will display a different page to a user
dependent upon a cookie value. There is a default view, then explicitly set
other views. Every page checks that cookie to determine what the user sees. The
"easy" way to make sure I am looking at the right page is through a
verifyTitle. For this example, assume the possible titles are "Yes" and "No".
Any help? Is this a bug?
So I want to do something like this:
<config haltonfailure="false">
<header name="Cookie" value="bob=yes"> </header>
</config>
<invoke url="somepage1"></invoke>
<!-- The following will PASS -->
<verifyTitle text="Title I Expect"> </verifyTitle>
<!-- I tried the following scenarios individually following the first
invoke...all of them fail. They work fine through a "normal" browser since the
cookie stays set. -->
<clickLink label="some label"> </clickLink>
<!-- The following will FAIL -->
<verifyTitle text="Title I Expect"></verifyTitle>
<invoke url="sonofsomepage1"></invoke>
<!-- This would also FAIL -->
<verifyTitle text="Title I Expect"></verifyTitle>
<invoke url="somepage1"></invoke>
<!-- Even re-invoking the first page will FAIL -->
<verifyTitle text="Title I Expect"> </verifyTitle>
