How to store session cookie?

[TheFern2]

I am using express-session when I signin I generate a cookie session, is there any example on how to store this cookie for future tests where you need to be signed in?

I think you can use res.headers to store the cookie session if the cookie is part of the headers.

Ah makes sense, actually this was my screw up. I had not integrated the session on my e2e testing file. Once I did, I was getting cookie on signin.

{
      "statusCode": 200,
      "headers": {
        "x-powered-by": "Express",
        "content-type": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
        "content-length": "27",
        "etag": "W/\"1b-hrSeWtz/po7IJ7Z4t5aGDqOSX8o\"",
        "set-cookie": [
          "connect.sid=s%3AQTToER0pCy4Edd5ZqGLoEV9tT1BgUZro.AyxuYlBaOwVNR5wRSRtrM4yS0BYNvAzTbviHNb0o4J4; Path=/; Expires=Sat, 14 May 2022 19:19:05 GMT; HttpOnly"
        ],
        "date": "Fri, 13 May 2022 19:19:05 GMT",
        "connection": "close"
      },
      "body": "User signed in successfully"
    }

Okay this is what I ended up doing, leaving this here in case it helps others. Thanks for this great library! If you see anything weird in my code below please let me know, I am a rookie when it comes to sessions and cookies.

describe('login', () => {
    const dto: AuthDto = {
      email: '[email protected]',
      password: 'secret',
    };

    it('should get me with session cookie', async () => {
      const cookie = await pactum
        .spec()
        .post('/auth/signin')
        .withBody(dto)
        .returns((ctx) => {
          return ctx.res.headers['set-cookie'];
        });

      console.log(cookie[0]);

      return pactum
        .spec()
        .get('/auth/me')
        .withCookies(cookie[0])
        .expectStatus(200)
        .expectBodyContains(dto.email)
        .inspect();
    });
  });

console.log(cookie[0])
