I am new to Testcafé and working on a Testcase to check if no Cookies exist beforehand and if there is a cookie, to delete the Cookie. I have checked this and this post but don´t see any option on how to check if a cookie does exist or does not exist, as the posts describe on how to set a Cookie.

My first implementation would look like this:

    import { ClientFunction } from 'testcafe';
    
    const setCookie = ClientFunction(() => {
      if (document.cookie.length!==0)
{
document.cookie = 'COOKIE_NAME=; Max-Age=0; path=/; domain=' + location.host;
}
    });
    
    fixture `fixture`
        .page `http://google.com`;
    
    test(`1`, async t => {
        await setCookie();
    
        await t.typeText('input[type=text]', 'test');
    
        await t.debug();
    });

I checked the Testcafé API but didn't find any corresponding method; hence, any help or hints would be very much appreciated, thanks.

    How about just delete all cookies and then fire up the test? Conditions make your tests more difficult, that means more risk you'll eventually get it wrong. – pavelsaman Jun 30 '21 at 17:59

Please refer to this thread: Clearing all cookies with JavaScript It has a good code sample that demonstrates how you can parse \ clear cookies. You can use this code in your ClientFunction as a starting point to detect and clear a specific cookie.
