Cookies cannot be set on macos

[helloxz]

Description

I am on the macos platform. I can normally set cookies in dev mode, but setting cookies after build is invalid.

I did a comparison check with debug mode and found this to be the case.

To Reproduce

run wails dev ok

document.cookie = "username=John Doe; expires=" + new Date(new Date().getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)).toUTCString() + "; path=/";

run wails build -debug failed

document.cookie = "username=John Doe; expires=" + new Date(new Date().getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)).toUTCString() + "; path=/";

Expected behaviour

Cookies can be set correctly and effectively

Is your expectation that webviews support cookies? Do they?

[helloxz]

• wails dev(support cookies)
• wails build(not suppot cookies)

I hope the wails build can also support setting cookies

[helloxz]

Excuse me, have you reproduced this BUG?

[evorts]

In my opinion, having no cookie support does not posed a critical issue. Since it can be handled by either LocalStorage (which hadn't been an issue for me) or perhaps by the golang/backend side of the wails app. Cookie imho much more appropriate for web development which run on full fledge browser. Again, this is just my opinion

[misitebao]

It is not recommended to use Wails as a browser. 👀

[leaanthony]

Yeah, Wails doesn't bundle a browser.

[helloxz]

Yeah, Wails doesn't bundle a browser.

It's a bit strange that cookies are supported in development mode, but not after packaging. This issue doesn't exist on Windows. What could be the reason? I've temporarily switched to using localStorage to work around this problem.

[leaanthony]

When you say "development mode", do they work in the app (not the browser)?

[helloxz]

Yes, it works in the application, not in the browser.

@helloxz - Can you please retest with the latest version. Thanks.

[adityak368]

This looks like an issue. I am not able to set cookies even on windows. It fails both dev and build mode

[airtonix]

yeah responses will show that there are cookies, but it looks like that there is no cookie storage implemented.

Same is the case with me.. I am using securetokens to handle authentication. SecureTokens will try to set the cookie, but I am getting the following error

I dont see this issue when I visit the url directly in Safari . I am on MacOS
