[Selenium] Get Cookies: Fetch from WebDriver doesn't work anymore

HI @qqilihq,

it seems the fetch cookies from WebDriver doesn’t work anymore. I cannot recall to have made any change to my workflow(s) but I just happen to notice it now while updating some of them.

Hi Mike,

generally this works fine for me and is covered by extensive tests, so it must be specific to your individual setup or workflow. Can you isolate this and provide more details please?

Thank you,

Thanks for having a look. I will give this some more thoughts.

PS: Erm, Chrome Incognito mode maybe? Aaand, we’ve got a winner. Adding the arg --incognito causes no cookies being available via WebDriver :face_with_peeking_eye:

Yes, I can confirm that - I think it was discussed here on the forum previously. That’s how things are.

Now that you mention it there also rings a bell for me. As far as I can recall this is a limitation by Chrome that, while in incognito mode, it does not expose the cookies.

To prevent more false positives, do you believe it might be a good idea to have the get cookies node throw a warning if the web driver is in incognito?
