Browser State Actions

Objectives can directly manage cookies, localStorage, and the clipboard — useful for seeding state before a flow (skip a login, dismiss a consent banner) and for testing copy/paste behavior.

Cookies

Set a cookie named session with value abc123
Set cookies consent=yes and tracking=off, then reload the page
Delete the consent cookie
Clear all cookies

• Values accept {{variables}}: set a cookie named session with value {{auth_token}}
• A cookie without an explicit domain applies to the current page's site — navigate first
• Reload or navigate after setting if the page must pick the cookie up
• Provide path together with a domain; a path alone is rejected by the browser

localStorage

Set localStorage keys theme=dark and lang=en
Delete the lang key from localStorage
Clear localStorage

• Storage is per-site — navigate to the target site before setting
• Reload after setting if the app only reads storage on page load
• Values accept {{variables}}

Clipboard

The run uses an isolated test clipboard — your real OS clipboard is never read or written. Site Copy buttons are captured into it automatically.

Write "John Tester" to the clipboard
Click the message field, then paste from the clipboard
Clear the clipboard

• Paste targets the focused field — click or focus the field first, then paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V in an objective works the same way)
• Text and images both paste; rich editors receive a real paste event
• Typical flows: write → click field → paste, or click the site's Copy button → click field → paste

Verifying state

Each of these has a matching assertion family — see Cookies, localStorage, and Clipboard:

Set a cookie named session with value abc123, reload, and verify the page shows you as logged in
Set localStorage theme=dark, reload, and verify the dark theme is active
Click the Copy link button, then verify the clipboard contains "/invoice/42"
