How to add cookie?

[herlon214]

My code:

var ph = require('phantom');

ph.create(function(err, phantom) {
  console.log('Loading a web page');
  phantom.addCookie({
    "name": "PHPSESSID",
    "value": "9lrinitbsot9lvf7d7peej1456",
    'domain': '.google.com'
  });

  phantom.createPage(function(page) {
    var url = 'http://google.com';
    page.open(url, function (status) {
      page.render('image.png');
      // var link = page.evaluate(function() {
      //   return document.getElementById("download").getAttribute('href');
      // });
    });
  });

},{
  dnodeOpts: {
    weak: false
  }
});

It's returning:

  phantom.addCookie({
         ^

[shroukkhan]

did you figure out how to add a cookie ?

[SgtPooki]

This issue should be clearly defined in some documentation somewhere because I have been trying for days to figure out how to successfully set cookies with phantomjs directly (script call from phantomjs), node-phantom, and phantomjs-node. It doesn't seem like any of the phantomjs-to-node modules are actively maintained at all.

@SgtPooki i figured it out later. indeed there should be more examples / documentation . fyi, it is ph.addCookie

example:

/**

 */

phantom.create(function (error, ph) {

    ph.createPage(function (err, page) {


        page.set('settings', {
            userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0",
            javascriptEnabled: true,
            loadImages: false
        });

        phantom.cookiesEnabled = true;
        phantom.javascriptEnabled = true;


        steps = [

            function () {
                log.debug(site + 'Step 1 - Open login page : ' + loginPage);
                page.open(loginPage, function (status) {

                });
            },


            function () {
                log.debug(site + 'Step 2 - Populate and submit the login form');
                page.render('screenshots/xxxx/step-1-login-page.png');
                var onLoginComplete = function (error, response, body, page, cookies) {

                    for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {

                        if (cookies[i].key === authCookieName) {

                            log.info("Logged into xxxx , " + cookies[i].key + " is \n" + cookies[i].value);

                            ph.addCookie({
                                domain: 'xxxx.com',
                                expires: (new Date()).getTime() + (1000 * 60 * 60)   /* <-- expires in 1 hour */,
                                httponly: true,
                                name: authCookieName,
                                path: '/',
                                secure: false,
                                value: cookies[i].value
                            });


                        }
                    }

                    loadInProgress = false;

                };


                page.get('cookies', function (err, cookies) {


                    for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {

                        if (cookies[i].name === sessionCookieName && cookies[i].value.length > 0) {
                            loadInProgress = true;
                            myself.login(username, password, cookies[i].value, ph, onLoginComplete);

                        }
                    }


                });


            },
        ]

    })
})
