Selenium: Options.getCookie should return null if cookie not found.

[AllenFang]

Meta -

OS:

OSX 10.13

Selenium Version:

4.0.0-alpha.1

Browser:

Firefox developer edition

Browser Version:

62.0b15

Expected Behavior -

If cookie is not exists, I should get null just like official document said.
https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/module/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver_exports_Options.html

• Retrieves the cookie with the given name. Returns null if there is no such cookie. The cookie will be returned as a JSON object as described by the WebDriver wire protocol.*

Actual Behavior -

I got an error:

    NoSuchCookieError: No cookie with name sbet

      at Object.throwDecodedError (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/error.js:550:15)
      at parseHttpResponse (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/http.js:542:13)
      at Executor.execute (node_modules/selenium-webdriver/lib/http.js:468:26)

Steps to reproduce -

I use Javascript and [email protected]

1. Initialize Driver
2. call await driver.manage().getCookie('XXX')
3. I should got a null in step 2 but I got NoSuchCookieError.

The w3c spec says to throw the error you are getting, so that's at least behaving correctly. It looks like the getCookie command needs to add the NoSuchCookie error to the erros it catches here https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/javascript/node/selenium-webdriver/lib/webdriver.js#L1207

@lmtierney yes, I also checked the source code. So you mean the getCookie command need to return null instead of throw NoSuchCookie error? If yes, I probably can help to fix it.

That's up to the maintainer of the nodejs code. If it's to be nil, then the code needs updating. If it's supposed to throw an error then the documentation needs updating. @jleyba
