http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5212

I am also having the same problem. I need this because of how Safari is
setup. The weird part here is that getCookies(_) works and returns 17 to
the Set but the delete method makes no change.

Selenium Version: 2.31.0
OS X, 10.8.3
Browser: 6.0.3

Repro steps are the same as above. Seems like this would be a higher
priority. Its impossible to run multiple tests if you have to manually
reset Safari between each test.

I think there is a workaround to this - you're welcome to try it. But
first, so this issue only affects Safari and works fine for all other
browsers?

Bear in mind that deleteAllCookies() may still behave same as the Selenium
RC version: deleteAllVisibleCookies(). So you have to be sure you can see
those cookies before you delete them (can check via Selenium get cookie
calls or using javascript "document.cookie" in browser javascript/developer
console. if get cookie back then it is visible, else not).

The workaround is to go to page where the cookie is checked/invoked (e.g.
at the login / my account page that checks if logged in via cookie and
either shows page or redirects back to login page based on cookie check.
Then forcefully delete that cookie via deleteCookie() or use
deleteAllCookies(). Then do a forced page refresh. If you were on the my
accounts page (already logged in), deleting cookie followed by page refresh
should then take you back to login page since your cookie not exist
anymore. Use this workaround as a test "precondition" to execute before
proceeding with test flow that is expecting cookie not to exist. So to
reiterate the workaround: follow the reproduce steps of this bug but swap
steps 3 & 2, then add step 4 - page refresh. Now can proceed with test as
if no bug occurred.

I've ran into this issue for Safari and IE (since both don't offer
a "clean" profile, and deleteAllCookies() is not functioning good enough)
and that was my workaround which has worked well for me.

Forgot to mention, the workaround has been working for my team where we do
run Safari with multiple instances in parallel on same machine as well as
multiple tests being run one after another. But of course we use Safari 5
on Mac with Selenium v2.28, but that might not make much of a difference
from the reported environment for this bug.

Comment #6 on issue 5212 by jmle...@gmail.com: Safari driver - clear

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5212

The SafariDriver doesn't have access to the browser's cookie jar, so it has
to delete cookies through javascript (i.e. manipulating document.cookie).
This means any HttpOnly cookie, like many login cookies, cannot be modified
by the driver.

For deleteAllCookies, we can probably just nuke the cookie file on disk
(although that may require a browser restart, which would be a non-starter
for us)

for IE you can set the below capability as true:
ie.ensureCleanSession

for Safari:
safari.cleanSession as true

I tested in IE, it works.
For safari it does not.

I did face this issue and resolved it by starting with a clean session.

This option essentially removes cookies, cache, local storage etc.

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, safariOptions);

Hi, Are you sure that you have resolved the issue by starting with a clean
session?

I tried using the desired capability mentioned below:

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, safariOptions);

But, unfortunately, it couldn't clear cookies.

Same here - running on safari 7.0.2 (MacOS), selenium server 2.32 (can't
use anything higher because it's broken totally due to #7091).

Cookies are not cleared, session cookies persist, I was able to confirm
that using developer console - resources tab.

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5212

I resolve this issue deleting the files directly from the
folders "LocalStorage" and "Cookies" recursively. You can find this folders
on: (Windows)

C:\Users\%USER_NAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari\Cookies
C:\Users\%USER_NAME%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\Safari\LocalStorage

The code looks like

File cookies = new File("C:\\Users\\%USER_NAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple
Computer\\Safari\\Cookies");
FileUtils.cleanDirectory(cookies); <-you need create this method.
cookies = new File("C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Local\\Apple
Computer\\Safari\\LocalStorage");
FileUtils.cleanDirectory(cookies); <-you need create this method.

I just tried this out and it works
public void deleteCookies() {
Set<Cookie> cookies = driver.manage().getCookies();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
if (!cookies.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println(cookies.size());
System.out.println(cookies.toString());
Iterator<Cookie> iter= driver.manage().getCookies().iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){
Cookie C = iter.next();
System.out.println(C.getName()+"\n" + C.getPath()+"\n"+
C.getDomain()+"\n"+C.getValue()+"\n"+C.getExpiry());
}
cookies.clear();
System.out.println(cookies.size());

Sorry, i have commended the wrong code
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
// delete cookies in safari
if (!driver.manage().getCookies().isEmpty()) {

Set<Cookie> cookies = driver.manage().getCookies();

Iterator<Cookie> iter= cookies.iterator();.....

Same problem here. deleteAllCookies() does not clear (at least session-)
cookies.
driver.manage().getCookies() does not return any results.

We call this in our "@Before" test-method, so that all single tests have a
clean system (no login). But on Safari the login persists and tests fail.

On comment 17, have you tried navigating to the page/site where the session
cookies would take effect and then get cookies there and delete them there?
Can make that as part of @Before. It may not work if you just blindly call
deleteAllCookies() or getCookies() w/o being on the actual site/page that
uses the cookies. It's not the same as how a browser works for cookie
management where you can be on any page to manage cookie store/cache. I
mentioned that in an earlier comment.

Unfortunately the site i'm testing on is internal, but i'm confident that
this problem would exist on any site where login information is saved in a
cookie.

I've successfully used this method to expire login cookies rather than
deleting them:
domain = "." + $base_url.gsub("https://", "")
cookie = "document.cookie = 'svssid=; domain=#{domain}; path=/;
expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT;'"
execute_script(cookie)

Comment #22 on issue 5212 by vincebow...@gmail.com: Safari driver - clear

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5212

This is a java method I've successfully used to expire each cookie one by
one; I call it from the @Before method to reset the browser, and it works
even before any page has been loaded.

public void deleteAllCookiesOneByOne() {
int noOfCookies = driver.manage().getCookies().size();
if (noOfCookies > 0) {
System.out.println("Number of cookies found: " +
Integer.toString(noOfCookies));

}
Set<Cookie> cookies = driver.manage().getCookies();

for (Cookie cookie: cookies) {
System.out.println("Cookie found with name: " +
cookie.getName() + " and path: " + cookie.getPath() + " and domain: " +
cookie.getDomain());
String javascriptCall = "document.cookie = \"" +
cookie.getName() + "=; path=" + cookie.getPath() + "; expires=Thu,
01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT;\"";
System.out.println("Attempting to expire the cookie with the
following script: " + javascriptCall);
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(javascriptCall);
}
System.out.println("Number of cookies is now: " +
Integer.toString(driver.manage().getCookies().size()));
}

My console output shows it doing the job:

Number of cookies found: 1
Cookie found with name: .ASPXAUTH and path: / and domain: null
Attempting to expire the cookie with the following script:
document.cookie = ".ASPXAUTH=; path=/; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01
GMT;"
Number of cookies is now: 0

This was inspired by, and adapted from johan's ruby code in #21, around the
structure suggested by nhu in #14.

Hi Everyone,

Finally I was able to find a workaround for Safari clean session issue. I
execute the following lines of code when ever I need clean session.

String[] args =
{"/usr/bin/osascript", "/Users/automation/Documents/ClearCacheScript3.scpt"};

try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args);
process.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Here ClearCacheScript3.scpt is the applescript used to clear the browser
data. Following is the scripts:

tell application "Safari" to activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
keystroke "," using command down
tell window 1
delay 3
click button "Privacy" of toolbar 1
delay 3
click button 2 of group 1 of group 1
delay 1
click button "Remove Now" of sheet 1

end tell
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell

Created the above script based on the one in Link 1 below. I have modified
it to clear the data for all the websites. If you need to clear data for
specific website, refer to the below link. But it is not working around
the "Details..." button, so you might have to modify it to :
click button "Details..." of group 1 of group 1
