Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2835

Hello

I'm using Ruby/Capybara/Cucumber and Selenium Webdriver to control Chrome Browser,
but add_cookie does not work.

Ruby code :
browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser
browser.manage.add_cookie :name => "cookie_name", :value => "cookie_value"

The cookie should be set but it doesn't.
I get this error on the console :

Internal Chrome error during 'SetCookie': (Could not set the cookie). Request details:
({"command":"SetCookie","cookie":{"na
me":"cookie_name","path":"/","secure":false,"value":"cookie_value"},"url":"about:blank"}).
(Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnhandledError)

OS : Windows XP SP3 x86
Browser: Google Chrome 15.0.874.120 m
GEMs :
Using selenium-webdriver (2.12.2)
Using capybara (1.1.1)
Using gherkin (2.6.4)
Using cucumber (1.1.2)
Using rspec-core (2.7.1)
Using rspec-expectations (2.7.0)

We don't support adding cookies to "about:blank". You need to be on the actual domain
you want to add the cookie  to.

Wooops. Thanks a lot. For those who encounter the problem, you have to visit the URL
you want to store the cookie at before. 
In capybara, do that :
visit('/')
browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser
browser.manage.add_cookie :name => "cookie_name", :value => "cookie_value"
