Selenium how to inspect application tab and look at local storage

Question

I was wondering if it would be possible to execute the following instructions in a selenium webdriver

Basically what I'm trying to do is the following:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+M (⇧⌘M) to toggle device toolbar

2. Navigate to the Application tab

3. On the left, expand Local Storage and select https꞉//discord.com

4. Type Token into the Filter box

So as an example, I attached a screenshot of what it looks like in a selenium browser

Edit: I'm not trying to follow the exact step, but I'm just trying to get the value corresponding the the token key in the image below.

Answer 1

I doubt that your scenario is possible to execute with your exact steps. There is a reason why CDP and BiDi API was introduced in Selenium 4.

You can use JavaScript to set item in the localstorage:

IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)webDriver;
js.ExecuteScript("localStorage.setItem('token','123');");

For Python use: browser.execute_script("localStorage.setItem('token','123');")

For getting the token value: browser.execute_script("localStorage.getItem('token');")
