Cypress getCookies Command

Cypress get cookies command will get all the browser cookies. It yields an array of cookie objects.

Syntax

In options, you can specify two values:

cy.getCookies()
cy.getCookies(options)

• log: to display the commands in the command log. The default value is true
• timeout: time to wait for the get Cookies command to resolve before timing out. The default value is responseTimeout 

Properties of Cookie Objects

Each cookie object has the following properties:

1. domain
2. expiry (if specified)
3. httpOnly
4. name
5. path
6. sameSite (if specified)
7. secure
8. value

Rules

• cy.getCookies() requires being chained off with cy.
• cy.getCookies() will only run assertions you have chained once and will not retry.
• cy.getCookies() should never time out practically. However, It is technically possible for there to be a timeout while talking to the internal Cypress automation APIs because this command is asynchronous.

        cy.visit('https://www.programsbuzz.com/user/login')
        cy.getCookies()
            // Verify Number of elements in cookie are 5
            .should('have.length', 5)
            .then((cookies) => {
                // Verify first eleement contains secure and httpOnly propery
                expect(cookies[0]).to.have.property('secure')
                expect(cookies[0]).to.have.property('httpOnly')
                // Verify 2nd cookie element domain property contains value .programsbuzz
                expect(cookies[1]).to.have.property(
                    'domain',
                    '.programsbuzz.com'
                )
            })
    })
