Setup Browser Cookies

Import cookies from your real browser into the headless session. Skip the login flow entirely.

Why

QA testing authenticated pages requires login. Instead of automating the login flow (slow, flaky, 2FA), just import your existing cookies from Chrome/Firefox/Edge.

Step 1: Check Browse is Running

BROWSE="founderclaw/browse/dist/browse"
CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE url

If no page loaded yet:

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE goto https://yourapp.com

Step 2: Import Cookies

Option A: Interactive Picker (Recommended)

Opens a web UI where you select which domains to import:

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import-browser

This:

Reads cookies from your default browser's profile
Opens a picker UI showing all cookie domains
You select which domains to import
Selected cookies are loaded into the headless session

Option B: Import from Specific Browser

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import-browser chrome
CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import-browser firefox
CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import-browser edge

Option C: Import from JSON File

If you exported cookies manually:

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import /path/to/cookies.json

Cookie JSON format:

[
  {
    "name": "session_id",
    "value": "abc123",
    "domain": ".example.com",
    "path": "/",
    "httpOnly": true,
    "secure": true
  }
]

Option D: Filter by Domain

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookie-import-browser chrome --domain example.com

Only imports cookies matching the specified domain.

Step 3: Verify

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE goto https://yourapp.com
CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE text

You should see the authenticated version of the page. No login needed.

Check imported cookies:

CONTAINER=1 $BROWSE cookies

Supported Browsers

Browser	Profile Location
Chrome	`~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome` (macOS)
Firefox	`~/Library/Application Support/Firefox` (macOS)
Edge	`~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge` (macOS)
Chromium	`~/.config/chromium` (Linux)

Troubleshooting

"No cookies found" — Make sure the browser is closed (cookies DB may be locked). Or try a different browser.

"Permission denied" — Cookie databases are protected. Close the browser first, or run with appropriate permissions.

"Cookies imported but page still shows login" — The session may have expired on the server. Re-login in your real browser, then re-import.

Important

Imported cookies carry your real session. The headless browser can access your authenticated accounts.
Don't import cookies on shared/untrusted systems.
Cookies expire — re-import if the session times out.
