Cookies not stored in postman when we use the front-end
I'm testing user session using postman. When I use postman to log in, a session is created and a cookie is stored. When I try to use the front-end to login, the cookie is created but isn't stored in postman, is this normal ?

how would your frontend talk to postman?
It's either entirely normal, or I'm not understanding the question
it sounds like you're effectively asking "if I log in using chrome, why am I not also logged in on firefox"?
yeah it's normal I think, don't know why I had a doubt, I was using postman to log in and then test some behaviours based on that, then in my head, I had this idea "log in using the web, then use postman to test same behaviours" but this isn't possible, postman won't store the cookies created on the web :c
my bad sorry
no worries! You can actually do that, I think. You can copy the cookies from your browser and set them up in postman, but it's been an Age since I've done that
there might even be plugins for that? But it's not something that Just Works out of the box
Ahhh true, I think we can since we have the option "add cookies" something like that
exactly
yepp I see, everything works fine for now, it's good to know we can do that though :c, thanks a lot !
