NightmareJS: how to set cookie? - node.js

Question

var Nightmare = require('nightmare');
var nightmare = Nightmare({
show: true
})
nightmare
.goto('https://mail.yandex.ru')
.type('input[name=login]', 'mylogin')
.type('input[name=passwd]', 'mypassword')
.click('button.nb-button._nb-action-button.nb-group-start')
.wait('.mail-User-Name')
.cookies.get()
.then(function (cookies) {
//actions
})
I am getting cookies after authorization, but I don't know where I must set them and how I must set them. I've tried to do .cookie.set() at the beginning, but this doesn't work.
How I can use saved cookie? Thanks.

Answer 1

I did the following from the node terminal:
> var Nightmare = require('nightmare')
undefined
> var nightmare = Nightmare({show:true})
undefined
> nightmare.
... goto('https://google.com').
... cookies.set('foo', 'bar').
... cookies.get().
... then((cookies) => {
... console.log(JSON.stringify(cookies, null, 4))
... })
Promise { <pending> }

nightmare.cookies.set('key', 'value') is indeed the correct way to use it, as you can see in my result object. Perhaps https://mail.yandex.ru does not accept your cookie, because it's invalid. Please do the same and edit your question to include your results.
Edit: Apparently, OP needs to store the cookies so he can use them in another Nightmare instance. This can be achieved like this:
var Nightmare = require('nightmare')
var storedCookies // This is where we will store the cookies. It could be stored in a file or database to make it permanent
// First instance:
var nightmare1 = Nightmare({show: true})
nightmare1.
goto('https://google.com').
cookies.get().
then((cookies) => {
storedCookies = cookies
})
// Second instance:
var nightmare2 = Nightmare({show: true})
for(var i = 0; i < storedCookies.length; i++)
nightmare2.
cookies.set(storedCookies[i].name, storedCookies[i].value)
nightmare2.
goto('https://google.com')
