Hi all,

Does anyone know how can I clear the cookies in the pre-request? Thanks!

There is a Feature request for this functionality.

I'm looking for a way to clear cookies between each test, I know I am able to do… this via the GUI but I want to do it automatically in the pre-request scripts. I tried `document.setCookie = ...`, but `document` isn't defined. My current work around is to set the cookies into global variables, and use these variables in the header values, which allows me to set the values to empty strings at the beginning of each test.

Any news on this front? It’s been just about 2 years!
