How to set cookies in phantomjs using selenium with python?

Question

It raise an error message said "Can only set Cookies for the current domain",but all I did is just put the old cookies in.Sometime I add the 'correct' domain,it will raise error Message "Unable to set Cookie". And I tested it in Firefox,Firefox also cant work.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=phantompath)
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')
driver.get_screenshot_as_file('1.png')
cookies = driver.get_cookies()
driver.delete_all_cookies()
driver.get_cookies()
for cookie in cookies:
    driver.add_cookie(cookie)

Answer 1

The PhantomJS driver doesn't support all the keys from the cookie dictionary. One way to overcome this issue is to select the keys:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')

cookies = driver.get_cookies()

driver.delete_all_cookies()

for cookie in cookies :
    driver.add_cookie({k: cookie[k] for k in ('name', 'value', 'domain', 'path', 'expiry')})

Answer 2

You need to change the domain parameter for each cookie. The domain field must be formatted like this:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get('http://www.baidu.com')
driver.delete_all_cookies()

for item in cookie_dictionary: 
    driver.add_cookie({
      'domain': '.baidu.com', # note the dot at the beginning
      'name': item['name'],
      'value': item['value'],
      'path': '/',
      'expires': None
    })

driver.get('http://www.baidu.com')
