How to use authorization in autotests?

Question

Python

All good.
Who knows if I can use the authorization on the site that was performed on the site earlier when running autotests?
For example, there is a task to write an autotest for ok.ru. Logged into the site, everything is chin-chin. But when the autotest starts, there is no authorization, you need to log in, etc.
Is it possible to somehow use an already authorized session when starting an autotest?

Answer 1

It would be best to look in the direction of the cookie dump.

Answer 2

To do this, you need to launch the browser with the profile parameter. On the first run, selenium will create a folder where the cookies will be stored, on subsequent runs they will be picked up

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=C:\profile_folder")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

That is, you can use the construction:
driver.get(" https://ok.ru ")
time.sleep(1000)
Pass authorization manually through the browser window.
Close the browser window (not by stopping the script, but by handles)
Profit!
