I am currently struggling with a test script and need some help.
The goal is to achieve a fairly simple hybrid setup that addresses frontend via k6-browser and underlying API endpoints on a protocol level. The test itself is no big deal, but I am forced to add support for a login mechanism that involves multiple redirects and a totp token (I wrote a small k6 extension for this). I got it to work somehow, but I cannot run it with more than one vu because the login portal blocks simultaneous login attempts…
Long story short, I need to read the contents of a cookie that is part of the response I get from the auth system (adding the cookie for all subsequent requests already works via addCookies()). Does anyone have any idea how to read a cookie from a response header using k6-browser?
I saw the other topic here about k6-browser and reading cookies - unfortunately mine is httponly
Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

So, unfortunately we are currently not supportingbrowserContext.cookies() which should get the cookies for the specified URL after the login. I tried retrieving the cookies from the HTTP response returned from page.goto() or page.waitForNavigation() but these parse response from Network.responseReceivedevent which does not seem to include any Set-Cookie header. These are reachable through Network.event-responseReceivedExtraInfoevent which includes all raw headers, but we currently do not support it
So I’m afraid there is not a way to retrieve httponly cookies as of now. We will review these issues and work on providing methods to work with cookies soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I don’t see this as a show-stopper for me, even though I would have preferred better news. I can still create a meaningful test script by manually adding a cookie into the flow - it will not be as sophisticated as planned, but it will work.
I will come back later and see how cookie support developed.
