Last Updated:
Overview
This article provides guidance on how to generate a mock appSession cookie for testing purposes in a Next.js application. This method allows for the complete isolation of automated tests from Auth0.
Applies To
- Next.js
- Session Cookie
Solution
The appSession cookie is used by the Next.js Software Development Kit (SDK) to establish a local session and avoid unnecessary calls to Auth0 endpoints.
To mock the session cookie, use the following resources:
-
Refer to the testing utility for generating session cookies for End-to-End (E2E) tests using the generateSessionCookie helper function.
-
Refer to general testing advice for the Next.js SDK: Testing helpers.
