Description
When using the k6 browser module to automate login flows, I’m observing inconsistent cookie data between:
- Cookies visible in browser developer tools (Application > Cookies)
- Cookies retrieved via
BrowserContext.cookies()
The differences include missing cookies, mismatched expiration times, and inconsistent domain/path settings.
cookie value is

let cookies = await context.cookies(); console.log(cookies);value is

I copied the cookies from the browser and used them to make API requests to the system, which worked successfully. However, when using the cookies retrieved from context, the requests failed authentication.
I don’t understand why this discrepancy occurs.
