Better-auth and e2e tests

Hello, So I've encountered a difficulty creating fake users for e2e testing in playwright. I dont know how to generate fake token to add to the cookies. I've inspected the valid cookie with an account logged in normally and it seems like its just a session token + "." + some string in the end , ex: 123abc.123abc, but I have no idea how to generate that string. I would guess that its based on the secret. Thats what I've tried:

export async function loginAsTestUser(
  context: BrowserContext,
) {
  const email = `test-user-${crypto.randomUUID()}@example.com`;
  const { data, error } = await authClient.signUp.email({
    email: email,
    password: "password1234",
    name: "test",
    image: "https://example.com/image.png",
  });
  if (!data?.token) {
    throw new Error("Failed to create test user");
  }
  await context.addCookies([
    {
      name: "better-auth.session_token",
      value: data.token,
      domain: "localhost",
      path: "/",
      httpOnly: true,
      sameSite: "Lax",
      expires: -1,
    }
  ]);
}

export async function loginAsTestUser(
  context: BrowserContext,
) {
  const email = `test-user-${crypto.randomUUID()}@example.com`;
  const { data, error } = await authClient.signUp.email({
    email: email,
    password: "password1234",
    name: "test",
    image: "https://example.com/image.png",
  });
  if (!data?.token) {
    throw new Error("Failed to create test user");
  }
  await context.addCookies([
    {
      name: "better-auth.session_token",
      value: data.token,
      domain: "localhost",
      path: "/",
      httpOnly: true,
      sameSite: "Lax",
      expires: -1,
    }
  ]);
}

I've also searched the docs for some examples or maybe methods to generate it, but no luck. Anyone knows what to do?
