Re: WWW:Mechanize::Chrome cookies

Currently, WMC uses a fresh/separate profile always. You can create a persistent profile by using the data_directory option:

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(
    headless => 0,
    data_directory => '/home/tunerooster/chrome-session-for-walmart',
);
[download]

This lets Chrome keep cookies between invocations.

Great! That almost works... But, it opens two (2) chrome windows, one in "incognito" mode at "grocery.walmart.com" and one chrome window not in incognito mode (regular mode?) at "about:blank". Although the docs say incognito defaults to false, I set it to 0 (zero) anyway but it makes no difference and the docs say nothing more regarding incognito. I can manually close the walmart page (which, btw, is not reading the login cookies) then go to walmart in the non-incognito window and YES, it then works. However, I need to make it open walmart in one non-incognito window automatically, and I should be good to go... Any additional help is greatly appreciated! My code now: `use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy); use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome; Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR); # Set priority of root logger to ER +ROR my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 0, data_directory => '/home/rwk/chrome-session-for-walmart', incognito => 0, ); $mech->get('https://grocery.walmart.com'); my $png = $mech->content_as_png();` [download] P.S. How do I select between the two open chrome windows? I can't find it anywhere in the docs...	[reply] [d/l]

With version 0.58 , the second window should not open anymore unless you specify `separate_session` in the constructor. Also, it should make the cookies available that are stored in the `data_directory`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
