Objective

Let the app set a session cookie and read it back through the WebDriver cookie API.

Your task

  1. 1Click #set-cookie.
  2. 2Read the cookie named session_id with getCookieNamed / get_cookie / GetCookieNamed.
  3. 3Assert its value is “abc123”.
  4. 4Assert #cookie-value contains “session_id=abc123” so the UI and the driver agree.

Acceptance criteria

  • The cookie is read with the driver's cookie API
  • #cookie-value shows session_id=abc123
  • At least 2 assertions pass
