Subject: Re: Ruby + Selenium: Reuse open browser session [HELP]

Examples here in Ruby:
http://seleniumready.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/how-to-create-selenium-cookies.html
Play around with IRB and see what you can do with it.

Perhaps if you explain what your goal is and what your obstacles are in
more detail we might be able to find the best method. My examples tend
to use watir-webdriver since this is what I am familiar with.

If your reason for experimenting with cookies is to match what your
standard profile uses, then that can be achieved with something like
this:
Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => 'default'

As far as I know Webdriver can only use windows created by the current
session, since the "attach" method only existed for browsers using a COM
object (IE).

If you're looking to log into a page and then execute a series of other
scripts, this is what I would do:

_________________________________________________

require 'watir-webdriver'

class BrowserTest

  attr_accessor :name, :pass, @driver #Not technically required

  def initialize
    @name = 'me'
    @pass = 'pass'
  end

  def start
    @driver = Watir::Browser.new
  end

  def login
    @driver.goto 'some-page'
    @driver.text_field(:id => 'name').set @name
    @driver.text_field(:id => 'pass').set @pass
    @driver.button(:name => 'go').click
  end

  def script1
    puts @driver.url
  end

  def script2
    puts @driver.title
  end

  def run
    start
    login
    puts 'Press enter to continue...'
    gets
    script1
    script2
    puts 'Press enter to quit'
    gets
    close
  end

  def close
    @driver.close
  end

end

BrowserTest.new.run
