Dash Cookies Testing

[Milan]

Hi,

I am testing my own auth system. I am storing jwt token in cookie.

I already made logic, it works fine… But, now I want to write automated unittests. How can I mock values of cookies? How can I create context that will have cookies inside it?

Best,
Milan

Hello @Milan,

There is a topic where I explain a little about how I accomplish this, you can check it out here:

Test automate: fill external auth page that guards dash app

Here, plug this into a file called browser in your tests file: # pylint: disable=missing-docstring import os import sys import time import logging import warnings import percy import requests from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionCh…

Note, I think that this testing only works if the cookies are not secure, I do this on a local server and have an if statement to determine whether the cookies should be secure in the application.

Or, if you want to maintain your flow with secure cookies, you can store your login process in order allow for yourself to be logged in. For me, I have MFA so I had to store the cookies.
