Is there possibility to write data to localStorge in beforeHooks before the page is loaded ?

[vaibhavsingh97]

Yes, you may use the following code to write data using the local storage in the before hook.

before((browser) => {
    browser.url('https://ecosia.org/')
      .waitForElementVisible('body')
      .execute(() => {
        localStorage.setItem('myCat', 'Tom');
      });
  });

let me know if you need any other help

Well, I've tried this but I need to set the OIDC token before I've reach the page (with authentication). I already have code to get the necessary token.

So is there any chance to do it before calling the url() method ?

No. You need to call the url(), set the OIDC token, and then call url() again. Btw, from a security perspective, you shouldn't set the OIDC token in the local storage.

You can check out this custom command which sets some session cookies using the same technique.
