Version 2Sign in to save

Complete solution

Shows how to fix problem with cookies injected with storage_state. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.

TL;DR

Use the function 'clickactionsand_reset' to click the Actions button and the reset option 4. Wait 5 seconds for the station to restart.

Steps

  1. Issue browser-use/browser-use#2799 (closed, 23 comments): ### Browser Use Version 0.6.1 ### LLM Model Other (specify in description) ### Screenshots, Description, and task prompt given to Agent I am using gpt-5. prompt: ``` """ 1. Navigate to the station status page: https://poc18.demo.dev.charge.ampeco.tech/admin/resources/evses/4. 2. Wait until the page is fully loaded. 3. Use the function 'clickactionsand_reset' to click the Actions button and the reset option 4. In the form that appears: - Enter "Soft" into the Type field. - Enter "Any" into the Reason field. - Click the "Run Action" button. 5. Wait 5 seconds for the station to restart. 6.
  2. Inject the cookies through the browser session start event instead of setting them after launch. The confirmed workaround:
  3. Hook BrowserStartEvent on your agent.
  4. Wait for the CDP connection to be ready.
  5. Call cdpset_cookies with your cookie list.
  6. Keep the browser session alive across agent steps so the cookies persist.
  7. Users confirmed the agent then runs authenticated. Setting cookies after the page loads does not stick, because the session resets.
