Setting Cookies to the test HttpClient in WebApplicationFactory

[velmohan]

Hello,

Is there any way I can set a cookie to the test httpclient created from WebApplicationFactory?

Background

I am trying to implement end to end testing of a Blazor application using playwright. For this, I am following an idea introduced in a community stand up by @MackinnonBuck where he intercept requests and send them to the test http client created by WebApplicationFactory.CreateClient().

Our application needs a cookie attached for this to work and even though I can configure the cookie in the Playwright BrowserContext, I am not able to pass that onto the Blazor app.

You can yes, you just need to pass a cookie handler through when creating the HttpClient.

For example:

using var cookieHandler = new CookieContainerHandler();

using var client = Fixture.CreateDefaultClient(cookieHandler);
