Not able to add cookies from Internet Explorer driver in Selenium WebDriver with C#

[Srinivasan Sampath]

Hi,

I am automating a scenario by using Specflow with Selenium WebDriver in C#. I need to set the cookies and access them in our automation test.

The scenario works fine with Firefox and Chrome. But it fails in Internet Explorer.

Code where the exception is captured.

var cookie = new Cookie("test", "currencyid=1");

Driver.Manage().Cookies.AddCookie(cookie);

Getting the following exception stack trace,

OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Unable to add cookie to page

TearDown : OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Unable to add cookie to page

Did you load the web page before trying to add a cookie?

If I remember correctly IEDriver cannot add cookies until the website is
loaded.
