Laravel cookies
The Laravel integration adds cookie helpers that use your application's encryption key. These wrappers are separate from Puth's raw cookie API.
Choose the appropriate helper
| Task | Encrypted cookie | Plain cookie |
|---|---|---|
| Read | $browser->cookie($name) | $browser->plainCookie($name) |
| Write | $browser->cookie($name, $value) | $browser->plainCookie($name, $value) |
| Assert presence | $browser->assertHasCookie($name) | $browser->assertHasPlainCookie($name) |
| Assert value | $browser->assertCookieValue($name, $value) | $browser->assertPlainCookieValue($name, $value) |
| Assert absence | $browser->assertCookieMissing($name) | $browser->assertPlainCookieMissing($name) |
Use encrypted helpers for cookies your Laravel application encrypts. Use plain helpers for unencrypted values, including values written directly with $browser->setCookie().
Read application cookies
php
$browser->visit('https://app.test');
$value = $browser->cookie('application_setting');
$browser->assertCookieValue('application_setting', 'enabled');The cookie must have been encrypted with the same application key the test uses. Puth's server does not provide Laravel encryption; it is handled by this client integration.
