I am using request with NodeJS and I'd like to save cookies as JSON. As per the docs, I am using tough-cookie-filestore and passing in the jar option.
I create the file on disk beforehand, and then make a request that I know returns cookies. But for some reason, the empty file I created to store the cookies in stays empty after the response has been received.
Should I explicitly tell request to commit the cookies to the file, or should it be automatic?
// using a promise-enabled version of promise
return request({
url: url,
jar: new FileCookieStore(myfile)
});
I found my error. I should use it this way:
// using a promise-enabled version of promise
return request({
url: url,
jar: request.jar(new FileCookieStore(myfile))
});
