WebDriver get Session Storage variables

[Julius Hamilton]

Hey,

I have a command which I am pretty confident can print the Session Storage variables from the driver, but I am pretty sure the issue is that the Selenium Web Driver isn't getting all the local or session storage variables that my normal browser does, so the variables aren't there.

Could anyone please let me know how to make sure the WebDriver gets all the session storage variables?

Thanks very much,
Julius

What do you find missing?  And what command are you using with the driver that you are confident will return all the session storage variables?

[Julius Hamilton]

If I load a number of web pages in my browser I see a number local and/or session storage variables in the Developer Tools.

But when I call this command on one of their keys:

driver.execute_script(“return sessionStorage.getItem(‘#{key}’)”)

it doesn’t return anything.

But if I do

driver.execute_script(“return localStorage.key(0)”) it successfully returns the key of one of the variables.

If I do:

driver.execute_script(“return localStorage.key(1)”) it returns nothing, even though I can see in my browser there are more local storage variables.

So it seems strongly that not all the storage variables are there, in the webdriver.

Do you think so?

Can you provide an example of retrieving all session storage variables, and not just some?

Thanks very much,

Julius

It might be because it’s headless.

I’ll try it non-headless.

But how could I get those variables in a headless browser?

Just an update on this:

The simplest formulation of the problem is expressed in this Stack Overflow post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69741673/how-do-i-retrieve-the-session-storage-in-selenium-with-python

www.google.com has session storage variables.

But driver.execute_script(“return sessionStorage.length”) returns 0.

Why?

 Can anyone provide a command that returns those session storage variables in Selenium?

Thanks very much.
