Chrome Driver - Allow All Cookies Setting

[Robert Sedgwick]

I need to allow all cookies when running tests with selenium + chrome driver.

I am trying to add this as a profile preference using ChromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference

I'm not 100% sure what the preference name should be to allow all cookies. I have referenced this doc https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/pref_names.cc?view=markup

and have tried the following in my setup but its not having the desired effect. 

options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.block_third_party_cookies", false);

and

options.AddUserProfilePreference("security.cookie_behavior", 0);

Here is my setup code

new DriverManager().SetUpDriver(new ChromeConfig());

var options = new OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeOptions { };

options.AddArgument("–no-sandbox");

options.AddArguments("-disable-gpu");

options.AddArguments("-disable-dev-shm-usage");

options.AddArgument("-incognito");

options.AddArgument("-start-maximized");

options.AddUserProfilePreference("security.cookie_behavior", 0);

CurrentWebDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Hi,

I ran into the same issue. I think in ChromeDriver v86 they moved everything around. I found that using the following helped me:

options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.cookie_controls_mode", 0);

I found the setting by checking the Chrome preferences file (in my case C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences). I saved a copy with cookies blocked, then changed the setting to Allow all cookies and compared the two versions, and that highlighted the affected control for me.
