Unable to create cookies using android

[Ben White]

Android Init:

        caps = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.ANDROID
        caps["acceptSslCerts"] = True
        caps["databaseEnabled"] = True
        caps["locationContextEnabled"] = True
        caps["browserConnectionEnabled"] = True
        caps["nativeEvents"] = True
        caps["takesScreenshot"] = True
        caps["cssSelectorsEnabled"] = True
        browser = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:8080/wd/hub",caps)
        time.sleep(2)
       
        testID = "Droid"
        action = ActionChains(browser)
        browser.implicitly_wait(30)

Firefox Init:

        browser = webdriver.Firefox()
        testID = "FF"
        action = ActionChains(browser)
        browser.implicitly_wait(30)

The Test:

    browser.get(site)
    browser.add_cookie({"name":"featureToggles","value":'true'})

• This test works find with the above firefox initialization, but when I try and run the test using the android I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\user\git\test-automation\Selenium Webdriver Testing\testflow.py", line 251, in <module>
    runTestSuite(browser)

    runTest1(browser)

    browser.add_cookie({"name":"blarg","value":'true'})

    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: None ; Stacktrace: Method createCookie threw an error in CookieHandler.java

 

• I'm running Python 2.7, android driver 2.21 on a Samsung Galaxy SIII running Android 4.1.2
• I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or if this is an issue with the driver?

Any ideas on how to fix this? Is more information needed?

Found the solution:

Despite the fact that the documentation here says that the "secure" key is optional (and it is optional for FireFox), it is not optional for Android. Setting the cookie using:

browser.add_cookie({"name":"featureToggles","value":'true',"secure":False})

Resolved the issue.
