Python - Requests, Selenium - passing cookies while logging in
I had some issues with this code because its set double cookies to the original browser cookie (before login) then I solve this with cleaning the cookies before set the login cookie to original. I used this command:
driver.delete_all_cookies()
I finally found out what the problem was.
Before making the post
request with the requests
library, I should have passed the cookies of the browser first.
The code is as follows:
import requests
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
url = "some_url" #a redirect to a login page occurs
driver.get(url)
#storing the cookies generated by the browser
request_cookies_browser = driver.get_cookies()
#making a persistent connection using the requests library
params = {'os_username':'username', 'os_password':'password'}
s = requests.Session()
#passing the cookies generated from the browser to the session
c = [s.cookies.set(c['name'], c['value']) for c in request_cookies_browser]
resp = s.post(url, params) #I get a 200 status_code
#passing the cookie of the response to the browser
dict_resp_cookies = resp.cookies.get_dict()
response_cookies_browser = [{'name':name, 'value':value} for name, value in dict_resp_cookies.items()]
c = [driver.add_cookie(c) for c in response_cookies_browser]
#the browser now contains the cookies generated from the authentication
driver.get(url)
