Question

I'd like to save cookies after log in, so i don't have to log in again every time I launch the spider. Is it possible?

I tried using this gem:

but I can't make it work inside the spider

Hello @CrazybutSolid ! At the moment kimurai doesn't has a setting for that, but you can do this manually, or using gem https://github.com/kyamaguchi/capybara-sessionkeeper .

but I can't make it work inside the spider

So what the problem exactly?

When I try
require "capybara"
require "capybara/sessionkeeper"

session.save_cookies('user1.cookies.txt')

inside the simple spider

I get

NameError: undefined local variable or method `session' for #Kimurai::Base:0x00007fc2120cacc0

nevermind. changed "session" to "browser" and it did the trick
