I am running against a public site

When I try set_cookie I get:

undefined method 'set_cookie' for #<Selenium::WebDriver::Driver:0x531e792e4b07692c browser=:chrome>



require 'rspec'

require 'capybara'

require 'capybara/rspec'

require 'capybara/dsl'

require 'pry'



Capybara.run_server = false

Capybara.app_host = 'http://www.google.com/'



Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|

  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)

end



root='/'



describe 'Form flow works', :type => :feature do



  before :each do

    Capybara.current_driver = :chrome

  end 



  it 'Collect the customer data', :happy do

    visit( root )

    page.driver.browser.set_cookie('test_disabled', 'true', :domain => 'www.google.com')

None of the current answers on SO address my issue or have worked.

Actual url is not google.

I tried show_me_cookies but that didn't work - details:

Added the gem:
$ gem install show_me_the_cookies
Successfully installed show_me_the_cookies-4.0.0
Parsing documentation for show_me_the_cookies-4.0.0
Done installing documentation for show_me_the_cookies after 0 seconds
1 gem installed

I added the following code to the spec (just using 1 file with all code right now)

RSpec.configure do |c| 

  c.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true

  c.include ShowMeTheCookies, :type => :feature

end

and then i added show_me_the_cookies in my spec but all I got was ...spec/foo_spec.rb:17:inblock in ': uninitialized constant ShowMeTheCookies (NameError)`

This solved it:

After visit to create the session I used:

browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser

browser.manage.add_cookie :name => 'ab', :value => 'true', :expires => Time.now + 3600

Capybara doesn't provide a cookie API because it's main aim is testing apps, and setting cookies when directly when testing is generally not a good idea. That being said, it sounds like you're scraping the web rather than testing so you have 2 options.

1. 
   

   Access the driver specific cookie methods. Since you're using the Selenium driver that would be something like

   
   
   

   page.driver.browser.manage.add_cookie(name: cookie_name, value: cookie_value)
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Use a gem that provides a common cookie API across different drivers. That would be the show_me_the_cookies gem recommended in the comments. That would then be

   
   
   

   create_cookie(cookie_name, cookie_value)
   
   

   
   

You may be getting uninitialized constant because you need to require 'show_me_the_cookies' in your spec_helper/rails_heper
