How to check a cookie name is "not" present on page

#1

Hi,

I would really appreciate some help on this one?

I have managed to get a cookie name from the browser, store it on a variable and then apply a verifymatch to a predefined string so then I can check that the cookies are there.

Example:
To the test cases I added these:
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory as DriverFactory
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver as WebDriver

and wrote the following example where affinitty is a cookie name:

arraffinity = driver.manage().getCookieNamed(‘ARRAffinity’).getName()
WebUI.verifyMatch(‘ARRAffinity’, arraffinity, false)

This is working fine.

But now I would like to verify that certain cookies are “not” there. This is because of GDRP rules that certain cookies should not be there until we click on a accept button.

So for example, I would like to check that at this point there is “no” facebook cookie, cookie called “_fbp”

If I apply this get statement to above to a none exiting cookie
_fbp = driver.manage().getCookieNamed(’_fbp’).getName()

it will give an error message and fails. It will not save a en empty value to the variable:

_fbp = getCookieNamed("_fbp").getName() FAILED.
Reason:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getName() on null object

So I thought of getting maybe all list of cookies present, store them into a variable and then apply the verifytext not present

all_cookies = driver.manage().getCookies()
WebUI.verifyTextNotPresent(’_fbp’, all_cookies, FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)

But I get again this error message:

VerifyTextNotPresent("_fbp", all_cookies, OPTIONAL) FAILED.
Reason:

Any ideas on how to check that the specifc cookie name is “NOT” in the cookies in the browser?

Thank you in advance!

Try something like…

try {
  _fbp = driver.manage().getCookieNamed(’_fbp’).getName()
} catch(Exception e) {
  // handle the null pointer exception
}
// rest of test case...

Hello Thomas, thank you so much for pointing me this direction. I am not a programmer so this helps a world.

I actually managed to write it like this so far:

try {
_fbp = driver.manage().getCookieNamed(’_fbp’).getName()
}
catch (Exception e) {
String _fbp = new String(‘Something went wrong’)
System.out.println(‘Something went wrong’)
}

WebUI.verifyMatch(‘Something went wrong’, _fbp, false)

I would actually like to store the string ‘Something went wrong’ in _fbp variable, so that then I can do a verify match. Since the idea is that it should be an error. I am expecting that the cookie should not be there.

With the previous statement is not being taken I get an error on the verify match part, I am possibly not writting it the right way. Could you please give me a hint on how to write it the right way?
